AR 15s need lots of maintenance to run well huh?

I don't have a lockable storage area. Closest thing I have to a seperate storage area is under my bunk. Would a lockable case do? @Airborneguy, @GOPerfect, wanna weigh in?

So if it was truly important to you in your journeys across our country, to just get a storage box that locks and put it in the back of your truck??

It only says inaccessible. There are no examples. What inaccessible means is up to your interpretation.

The way I see it, if it's locked in a box and they can't open it without breaking the box, it's inaccessible. Just hide the key.

If its locked in a box you can't get to from the drivers seat, I can't see them arguing it.

Official company policy is that having arms in the truck is grounds for immediate and unceremonious termination.

Well then, that there is a different excuse then the first one you gave. At least this ones probably true

What other statement did I make that wasn't true?

How ami I supposed to do that with no guns? I have to drive through ban states all the time. Not to mention that most of the time I have only time to eat and sleep, and in those ocassuins wherebI do have extra down time its not likely therenisna range nearby. I would like to head to SLC and takeba daynto check the new, super fancy indoor range out there though.

At no point could I bring my NY naughty AR into NYS.
"The exceptions to this rule apply mainly to transportation of handguns and so-called “assault weapons.”

He's making perfect sense to me. I can understand gobbstopper.

Inaccessible according to the officer if pulled over, not in the opinion of the driver.

And what would that be? Serious question.

 

[GOPerfect]

Serious answer, depends on the officer and the attitude of the driver.

 

[Marine Cpl]

Serious answer, depends on the officer and the attitude of the driver.

So it's a guessing game hence what the driver's interpretation is. The driver can only do what he thinks he can do.

Lol! Yayyy! We agree!! (this time at least I'm chucking out some facts and not just wisecracker remarks)

Hence the joys of most NY/Merica gun laws..

I agree with a lot of what you say. Just not 2 particular things. Informing and the chamber.

I feel so much better, I'm a notch higher on rung above @Darths ramble in your eyes..

ARs like to run clean and wet.
This doesn't mean that they cannot run dirty.

But, if one doesn't care to clean their firearm, whatever that might be, is probably because a problem or stoppage is not that critical
and his/her life or other's lives do not depend on it.

And remember, like an old wise samurai once said...who cleans the house, cleans the spirit.

I have a simpler and less elegant philosophy- "I spent a metric ass-ton on my guns soes I can't afford to not take care of em!"

See, this is my point! I'm s'posed to risk my livelihood and very liberty on a crapshoot?
I will say that when I get pulled over I am particularly obsequious with the officer.

 

[GOPerfect]

As for the OP, I clean my guns each and every time I shoot them. I enjoy cleaning them though. Very relaxing for me.

In regards to the AR's, there were many times in the Army when regular maintenance was not done, at least not in a proper way. We would spend months on end in the field, we barely had enough water and soap to clean our bodies let alone keep our weapons clean. My rifles never failed me when I needed them the most. Sometimes, they were just nasty dirty.

Once had an M16 that needed new gas rings. Was told to reinstall the old ones backwards. Once was issued an M16 so rusty it looks like it had been recovered from the wreck of the Titanic.

Definitely risk protect your livelihood and liberty on a crapshoot. Be alive and deal with the repercussions later(if any arise even)
