Did the law give that yellow Corvette to that patriotic American? Where's the verb which means give, gift, grant or any other similar action? Or, is the operative phrase here "shall not be impounded"?

What is the law saying there if not an imperative command?

Not sure why some people feel a need to "display" their firearms.
In my opinion... that's a smashed window waiting to happen. Good for the bad guys... bad for the good guys.

Whatever.

I wouldn't do it, either. But I do celebrate the fact he can!

I don't call exercising 2nd Amendment rights crazy in any way.

Maybe your the one that needs to check yourself.

People in many areas carry a rifle or shotgun in the back of their truck for a variety of reasons. If dude wants to carry it in the back of his Z06 more power to him.

LOL, epic fail of the CF. The C5Z06 section is NOT the place to start a 2A argument.

If you lived in CA where all gun rights are being eroded, you'd appreciate people like this who actually get to exercise their 2A rights. Would I want an AR gun rack in my Z? No, but I'd like the option without being thrown in prison if I wanted one.

As more idiots in this country continue to feverishly attack such rights, you'll simply (and naturally) see more extreme examples of those exercising them.

I'd likely trust this guy more than I'd trust a gun hating liberal, that's for sure.

Service members protect all walks of people, rednecks and cowards alike, and they use a rifle that looks a lot like that. Maybe I'm just a jaded old jarhead who has carted around an M16 too much, but I see that squirrel gun as inanimate an object as an empty Mountain Dew bottle.

I think we should all celebrate our freedoms

Here in the People's Republic of Kalifornia, that would not only freak everyone out, it would likely get you executed by the police or shipped off to Guantanamo for being a terrorist or mass murderer.

And just what would a poll of Corvette owners who carry an unseen firearm look like??

He may live in an area where he doesn't have to worry about aholes stealing his stuff, or he might just take it out of the car when he's not in it. Either way, it's his call.

So when he's at Walmart or Golden Corral, he just takes it in with him? I'm not sure a CCW would cover that weapon.

I GA is does, or he could OC it. Either way, he might not even take it when he will be going in somewhere. He also might leave it in the car...who knows....who cares? It's his business.

Wow, stereotype much?

It's Texas, land of the free, where long gun open carry is legal.

And as of this week, open carry of handguns is allowed (pretty much) everywhere in TX including colleges.

Remember:

If the choice of those two establishments was truly a random selection, then no worries - no offense intended.

But given the way this thread started out - with the editor implying a gun rack in a Corvette was a "redneck" thing, using the pejorative " 'Murica ", etc etc - and the similar stereotypes about Walmart and Golden Corral, it's easy to see how the association could be made.

Cheers -

No worries, all good... I shop at Walmart and I've eaten at GC (just have to be mindful of what you choose off the buffet to eat)...

But the Second Amendment would, nullifying the CCW's claimed validity.

Whenever my friend makes a racist comment and I give him that look, he always tells me he has a black friend.

I thought there was a place for politics.......not on the front page of CF. Your post is no more than an anti gun comment poorly disguised as humor. Take it to the politics forum and keep it there!
