And dear God dont STORE the gun in the truck.
LOTS of guns stolen that way. Quite a few over the past several weeks in the Greenwood area alone.
Please dont be THAT guy.
Oh, and what KW said. bullets in a fire are no biggie. bullets in a fire IN A CHAMBER are deadly. And while they may be DROP safe, they may not be CRASH safe.
So the takeaway is Dont store it in the car, and dont keep one in the pipe.
I’m looking at a 10.5 pistol for my next build.Keep my 10.5” AR pistol behind my backseat in my crew cab truck. Magazine inserted chamber empty. Along with extra magazines for AR and carry pistol. No long gun laws in Indiana as far as transporting. I like my pistol for crossing state lines where rifles must be cased and ammo separate. AR pistol falls under my LTCH in many states that I frequent.
