You'd probably want one of those small safes bolted to the floor inside the trunk. Even a safe just sitting there can be stolen. And they are not hard to break into. With that being said, I'd go with something very similar to this. http://www.gunsafestore.com/GV1000DLX.htm

You are very correct, Sir. Maybe I've been somewhat unlucky when it comes to the LEO's I've come in contact with. Is that any fault of my own? I'd say no. Any time I've had contact with LEO's due to something I've done wrong, I deserved it, and was usually treated with a fair amount of respect. The one time I didn't deserve it, well, I'm still slightly pissed about that. I guess it's that LEO-type swagger so many of them seem to have. It's kinda like that "I'm better than you" attitude. Or the "You will bow to me" attitude. Then there is the "brotherhood" thing going on. Instead of smacking the a-hole cop in the head for being a moron, let's just pretend it didn't happen. Well, until the news gets hold of the story, and we have no choice but to air the dirty laundry. The stereotypical perception of truck drivers was brought up earlier. So many people think we are a bunch of uneducated, low life, drug addicts who sleep with lot lizards in every truck stop we get close to. Long before I became a truck driver, I was well aware of this common perception. Are all truck drivers this way? No, but I'll be the first to admit, there sure is a whole lot of them on the road. I hear and see it every time I get in my truck. And this is why we as truck drivers get such a bad rap. Though some of you may consider me just another a-hole truck driver, I do all I can to seperate myself from the sterotype. And when I do come across one of those scumbag drivers who give us a bad rap, I don't pretend it doesn't exist. I'll give them a piece of my mind. I do whatever I can to help clean up the attitudes of some drivers. That doesn't mean they will change, but I'll feel better knowing that I'm not willing to simply sit back while not being heard. On the other hand, I don't blame or get upset with those who lump me into the category with the bad apples. I fully understand why they have such a perception, and hope that in my own little way, I can help change their attitude towards most of us. Fact is, the truck driver industry has done this to themselves, and have no one else to blame. After years and years of the same old crap, it's no wonder people feel the way they do. In the end, I feel LEO's should be more willing to stand up to the bad apples, but within the brotherhood, that doesn't seem to happen nearly as much as it should. So many things seem to go covered up, unless they have almost no choice but to deal with it. I feel that if the good LEO's make a whole hearted effort to weed out the bad ones, such a perception likely wouldn't exist. Not nearly as much as it does anyway. As I think I stated in an earlier post, instead of being upset because some have this type of perception, channel that anger towards the bad apple. With the countless news stories, and the instances that I've happened to be fairly close to, dealing with LEO corruption (for a lack of a better word) cases, it's not nearly as rare as some would like us to believe. It just so happens, they are too busy cleaning up everyone else backyard to worry about their own. Again, this is nothing personal towards any of our LEO members, it's simply an observation as I see things with the LEO community as a whole. I've had no issues with any LEO members, but after voicing my opinions, I may have a few less Meet-n-Shoot pals. I just hope you can continue to love me, just like the LEO's in my family. They know how I feel as well. If it helps matters any, I'm a supporter of the FOP.

For some strange reason, I think these things are pretty cool. Problem is, I've heard/read almost nothing but horror stories while researching the GSG-5. Most of the complaints have involved distribution and poor quality of the weapon. Many complaints are about anything from the finish being poor, to cracked bolt, to missing parts. The cracked bolt issue really bothered me. What kind of tin can are they building these things out of if a .22 has enough power to crack a bolt? Doesn't this company primarily deal with Airsoft guns? Does anyone know if their quality control has addressed and fixed these issues?

That sucks. What a bunch of cowards. Hope he heals soon.

I have no reason to believe that you are anything but a very nice guy. I can't say you've done anything to make me believe otherwise. That being the case, my post was in no way a personal attack on you. Yes, it was quite a generalization, but a generalization based on my own personal experiences. It's a generalization based on something that actually happened to me, and things that have openly happened to others. Is it a fair generalization? Maybe not, but I honestly don't think I'm all that far off. Having LEO's as family members, I've spent a whole lot of time around many LEO's who did or do serve in one department or another. This includes family, and friends of family. Not to mention the normal interactions most of us have with LEO's over our lifetime. In my own personal experiences, it's been rare that most of these LEO's did not have the same type of "I know it all" attitude. It's also been rare that they didn't act as if they were above the law. Maybe this is what some LEO's simply consider a "perk" of having such a job. Again, this is just my opinion based on my personal experiences. And again, based on countless conversations with others, I don't believe it's a very uncommon opinion. Maybe instead of the "good" LEO's being upset, because many have such an opinion, maybe they should be upset with the "bad" LEO's. And do something about it.

True, but I'd hate to be the instigator of yet another "cop bashing thread". It just amazes me how some have such a difficult time seeing the reality of things. I've yet to find a LEO admit they are vigorously trained to not be our friends in many situations. Being vigorously trained in "trickery" is hardly friendly, IMHO. As the video states, even if your innocent, they are trained to trick you into screwing up, saying something wrong that could be twisted into making you look guilty. Tactics such as this are strictly for the benefit of LE. With the number of wrongly convicted, this hardly seems friendly to me. Fact is, with the proper tools and knowhow, damn near any person can be made to look guilty of damn near anything. No one has access to such tools and knowhow quite like LE. And they use the hell out of it. Even a simpleton like myself could probably convince some of you of things that aren't true. With that being said, in no way, shape or form does this make me a "cop hater". I have full respect for LE (in most case), but lets call a spade a spade. As was brought up earlier, I'm a truck driver. Most people have a common interpretation of what exactly a truck driver is, and being a truck driver, I'm more than likely going to be thrown into that pile. Being a truck driver, most people who don't know me would consider me a fat, lazy, uneducated, foul mouthed a$$hole (the list is nearly endless), which most is true. But, once in a while, I can be a pretty damn nice guy. I have no problem admitting what and who I am. No need to walk around pretending I'm a brain surgeon.

Those badges are just silly.

Very nice find. Remember, LEO's are not your friends. Just kiddin'. Don't get your panties in a bunch.

Boy, those were the days.

Dont feel so bad. I am always typing a ; when I mean to type '.

Obviously firearm safety is overrated in France.

Nice. That's the 6" barrel, correct? You're gonna have to let me come over and try it out.

Thank you for the info, again.

Anyone have one of these? Thought about buying one of these? I'm just throwing around ideas for my future AR build/purchase, and was wondering if this would even be a good idea.

Oh, Gotcha. I've seen Hookah's being sold in stores, usually run by folks of Middle Eastern descent. They usually sit right next to the bongs and crack pipes. I had no idea they had a bar dedicated to them.

That looks great. Very nice job.

Ripoff, yes. Selling like hotcakes, HELL YES! I've heard of several people getting rid of their Kel-Tec's for the LCP. They did something right.

Thank you for the information.

I wasn't sure. I've never ordered ammo online. I'll take your word for it.

That's a wild story. I hope he has a swift recovery. What exactly is a Hookah Bar? Was this local?

Thanks for the heads up. Do all ammo suppliers require you to send a copy of your ID to prove age?

What kind of horse did you trade?

I've never owned one, but I've heard nothing but positive remarks about them. I did get a chance to put a few rounds through one, and it was smooth as silk. I want one so bad, I'm almost willing to have a finger or two surgically removed, so it would fit into my hands.
