So if someone car jacking you tell them to hold on let me get in my trunk and glove box to defend myself…
how about a center console gun safe?
No law
I travel often law abiding citizen concealed carry never leave home without it.
Not to beat a dead constitution but wtf does "the right to bare arms" and " shall not be infringed" mean anymore if the 2nd Amendment is being infringed and we don’t have the right? This is straight government overreach and bullshit and needs to be stood up against, because "we the people" not they the government.
Its called you just do it, it’s the second amendment and anything other than non compliance is useless.
If you’re a retired PO who qualifys ever year and has a permit in his state will you still get jacked up by the Police.
So the constitution of the United States and the second amendment is not a part of every state as written but is re written for the good of the politicians and not the defense of the legal American citizens in self defense SMFH political COWARDS 😡
We really need to law suit these state
Could we assume that any such firearm transportation charge could easily result in a felony conviction, costing the owner of his right to own any firearm in the future?
Don’t live in a state that does not support citizens having firearms.
Don’t drive through state that does not support citizens having firearms….unless you’re moving to a free state. Don’t stop and buy anything while transiting an unfree state.
Ok I’m still not sure if I heard this right. You can transport firearms thru states that restrict those firearms. But not if you live in a state like ny even if you’re not going into ny with it. Like an AR?
New York, New Jersey, Assachessetts and Commiefornia don’t care what FOPA says.
Forget your federal law try to go to California or New York with a gun in your car and get caught😃
Pretty sure if a law goes against the constitution it is my duty and obligation to ignore it. Lawyers ruined the world. Theyve helped abduct perfectly good people from their families. The world would understand this if the nuremburg trials weren’t distracted by the cold war and went through with the prosecution of police/lawiers/judges and everyone else who was brainlessly manipulated into the rounding up of good people. These are human rights they are taking from you.
Step number six don’t go to places that has too much gun restriction
It’s sad, that in a Constitutional Republic, that your Constitutional Second Amendment Right cannot be practiced consistently across every state, the same as every other Constitutional Right.
That, folks, sounds a lot like infringement.
We’ve come a long way since the wild west. Thanks Democrats. 🖕
Lol the trunk on a motorcycle is often under your ass on top of the battery.
That seems like an unlikely place you could reach a gun driving a bike.
As for traveling inside a state if you enter California from newmexico on the southern boarder and drive north to Idaho via the 101 its going to take you 2 to 3 days time to pass through the state.
Maybe longer on a bike. Trips like this are very common.
Ny you pull your boat in to fule up could take more then 1 day and if the fire arms on the boat in the water its not really on land now is it?
I guess as a trucker I cannot have a weapon. That sucks.
Infringement means to eat around the edges… Guns laws have knocked down the whole damn door… And the so called "Supreme Court" sits and watches the country become overthrown, denying to even hear 2nd Amendment cases.
There is only 1 firearm law in the United States of America.
I plan to relocate from NYC to Florida how do I go about transporting and registering my legal gun.
ummm bullshit….. Get a ccw and carry the weapon loaded in your vehicle.
I’ve heard you’re even at risk if stopping for gas, snacks or the toilet in states like New Jersey and New York.
lmao, i carry my firearm any way I WANT… in any state ,,,, never had an issue ….
What is this unconstitutional gibberish that you speak?
So we’re not really the United State’s ? Maybe sometimes we are but not when it comes to guns.
What about Oregon and Washington statutes allowing for concealed carry while hunting, fishing, or attendance of a formal shooting establishment and in the transportation to and from said activities?
If the two states allow such a provision, doesn’t this allow to carry concealed across state lines without a permit?
Actually, you can’t take the steaks out of America and once people start to understand there’s a difference between being a ‘flesh-and-blood American’ in contrast to a ‘numerically categorized citizen’,
.. the people will understand that all it takes is unity and really one or two days to make the changes we want:
The Second Amendment is our carry permit, unless we have record of committing a violent crime or hurting somebody.
Cigarettes alcohol and prescription pills cancel out any hypocritical BS that says people can’t smoke weed.
What the hell’s the matter with my American brothers and sisters that we still have to be talkin and dealing with this crap in 2021??
Fidget spinners and a chick’s but will get 9 million views, but somebody posting a video about Title 18 of the US C or the anatomy of a malicious prosecution doesn’t get any views.
I think it’s fear, or YouTube keeping people like me unheard and unfindable to the outside world.
💪🇺🇸🌿
Does the ammo (which is in another container) need to be locked too?
The 2nd Amendment says "shall not be infringed". how is it that *any* state can enact *any* laws restricting the right to keep,or bear,arms?????
Does anyone know if both the gun and ammo need to be stored in locked hard sided containers or if the ammo can just go in a bag
…needs a federal FOPA definition of "high capacity magazine" to overwrite any inconsistency with restrictive definitions.
e.g. some law was supposed to be no more than seven round capacity in a state or a city.
So FOPA should declare an overruled version such as e.g. 10 round maximum for transport. so there is no collision of the point.
this goes against the 2nd amendment
This sounds like a bunch of idiots created these laws. Why carry a firearm if not to defend yourself against people like those creating these laws? Really, this is just plan stupid stuff here and one day this world will be destroyed by FIRE from God. And that day will not come soon enough for me.
So I have a truck with a canopy n moving to texas from Washington state I have all gun cases for each one n both me n wife have cpl should I be good with all firearms in the bed of the truck wity my dogs ?
The problem is that FOPA is a defense, not a bar from arrest and prosecution. A cop in California may arrest you and a DA may prosecute you, It is up to you to establish that you are eligible for protection under FOPA. It is far better to simply avoid states like California, New Jersey and New York.
When the guns are removed, the criminals will take control. See California
Or you just keep your piece concealed and don’t do anything stupid to attract the attention of the cops. You know the law is crap when complying with it is way more difficult than just being a decent person and acting like a good neighbor.
This comment section gives me hope for my country. <3
Fuck California New Jersey and New York lol
I was considering bringing a load of alfalfa hay from NJ back to S.C.
Guess not. It’s a 20 hour drive there. Figure 6 hours to load hay, then 20 hour drive back. But…..I would be carrying quite a bit of cash until the hay is purchased. I’m not going into a combat zone unarmed. Other arrangements will have to be made.
I don’t travel much but thanks great video!
Where’s the video on protecting voting rights?
how do these protesters get away with ar-15 with inserted mag in the weapon not shouldered but at the ready position and finger over the trigger on government property ive seen so many pictures of this in last 2 yrs its not legal Brandishing and Improper Exhibition of a Firearm
The steel in my car could potentially be melted down to make firearm parts. Should I be concerned?
Then what’s the point of having a firearm?
California; if the bad guy do get you, there government will.
State level gun laws need to be banned and abolished. There should be one set of gun laws that apply national wide to everybody.
