And in the school parking lot every truck had one with a gun in it.

When I was in high school, I threw the .30-30 Model 94 in the back on the way to school so I could hunt after school. We'd be out in the lot showing each other our guns and talking about where we'd hunt. Imagine that today.  :yike:
You'd probably be taken out by a drone or a SWAT team (more likely a SWAT battalion  :chuckle: ). Then the news shows would refer to you as right wing 2A nutjob and post your worst pictures all over.

Gun Racks in Pickup Trucks?

There is a law, at least with regards to leaving a concealed pistol, that it must be kept out of sight locked in the vehicle.

Pretty sure that law applies to all firearms, they aren't supposed to be left in plain open view unattended.

I would never leave one in the rack but it would be handy to keep one there while hunting, my Toyota doesn't have a lot of extra room for a rifle or bow. I looked for one for a while but gave up and bought one of the holders that goes on the back of my front seats.

The are still usefull for fishing poles.  :dunno: But i don't fish anyomore except for carp and that is with a bow!  :archery_smiley:

I think its illegal in King county to have them displayed in a gun rack...

I heard they were illegal as well.   I went to look for one when I got a new truck.   I was told it was over a lawsuit with some intimidation factor.   Someone sued and won and next thing you know, no more gun racks.   no idea for sure.  I would love to know.

They are not illegal, nor are they very smart.  About as bright as leaving your wallet and your Iphone in plain view on the dash.

I've never heard of any law that says guns need to be hidden in a vehicle. Sure it may be a good idea to keep them out of sight, but let's not make up imaginary laws that don't exist.

See them everyday round here. :dunno:

Our ranch rigs still run them, but our drivers don't - extended and crew cabs.

Just because you've never heard of it doesn't mean it's made up.
RCW 9.41.050

Carrying firearms.

 (2)(a) A person shall not carry or place a loaded pistol in any vehicle unless the person has a license to carry a concealed pistol and: (i) The pistol is on the licensee's person, (ii) the licensee is within the vehicle at all times that the pistol is there, or (iii) the licensee is away from the vehicle and the pistol is locked within the vehicle and concealed from view from outside the vehicle.

And I did specify that the law applied to at least pistols.

Pman- I know about that law. It only applies to CPL holders who have a loaded handgun in their vehicle.

This law is correct and applies ONLY to pistols kept loaded in a motor vehicle, enabled by owning a CPL.  To keep a loaded pistol in your vehicle without a CPL would already be illegal, so no law needed there.  I'm not sure what the law would be if you had an unloaded pistol in plain view without a CPL.  I think legally that is acceptable, but I'm sure you'd lose your court case, mostly for being dumb.

I have never seen a law pertaining to rifles or non-CPL pistols.

Thanks for your input.

Kind of getting off topic here but just to clarify even further, it is legal to have a loaded handgun in a vehicle if you are going to, or coming from, any outdoor recreational activity (hunting for example.) A CPL is not needed in this situation.
