Rifle mounting in vehicles

[DavidWOwens]

Been an idea of mine for some time. Especially with the rise of ignorance upon our streets lately. I have a Dodge Pickup with a fold up bench rear seat, been thinking about making some sort of mount to hold my rifle.(obviously not loaded in transport, that would be illegal).
Was wondering if anyone had done something similar? Failed, success? Pics maybe?

Yes it would
I just lay mine in the seat and fold it up
With seat down I have two straps that hold rifle secure
works for me.....

If you have a valid Oklahoma handgun license you may carry a rifle magazine (not chamber) loaded in the passenger compartment of your vehicle. Why do you have to think about doing so?

Thank you. I knew that. I meant having the magazine in rifle wouldn't be legal. Can you clarify what you mean by, "why do you have to think about doing so"?

It's my understanding that it's legal to have a loaded magazine inserted into the rifle you're carrying in the passenger compartment, you just can't have a round chambered. Please, someone correct me on this and furnish legal citation if this is incorrect. And "why do you have to think about doing so" was a general question (as in why would any holder of a valid Oklahoma handgun license think twice about doing so), not directed at you personally.

This is my understanding as well.

David,

OK HGL (or current license from another state) = Magazine-loaded rifle or shotgun in your vehicle is legal.

It's perfectly legal to put a loaded mag into a rifle for transport in your vehicle.

I've not put mine in a mount. It's carried otherwise due to vehicle and other considerations. Can't be any help there.

And here's a few mounting suggestions:

Your correct.
I keep an AR in the passenger seat when going to the farm down the highway. I'm sure a few truckers have seen it when I pass them. Hit the bolt release if necessary and its ready to roll.
