Those 5.0 LX models were fire. Had a college roommate from California that had a 1993 teal colored one. I liked them better than the GTs.

No shit, Tim, it happened. If I didn't have my flashlight in my hand he would have been dead. He didn't have any lights on his car. I told both of them they are dead if I didn't see the badges. They agreed, and that's why we had a cup of coffee at 5 in the morning.
PPK in hand. If I were to come out with my AR...might be dead right now. Someone would.

In response to the officers that hate open carriers. I've never known an officer that would purposely wait until someone got into their vehicle to arrest a person for "carrying concealed". In any larger city, no one has time for that crap. I am glad constitutional carry is legal in Alabama now though. It just makes more sense.

Sad but true…Most cops hate open carry.. Fewer don’t mind it… It’s all about that an Officer chooses to use his discretion…

Days later, i'm still dwelling on this. Seconds way from two dead LOE's, or me.

@Krimson This is why I love my local gun range. Every one is open carry. I was shooting with my M1 Ganard the other day with guy, and gals, asking if they can take a shot. This rifle is what..50 years old...off the battle grounds...and still fires true to the mark. I will never sell this gun. It's got a groove mark on it from someone trying to kill the guy. The stock looks like it was ground out with a router...but it was a bullet.
Mine was Red with Red interior! Stock!! The bitch would fly!! Got pulled over 5-6 times in the 18 months I had it.

It's got a jerk you have to position your elbow with for two round in the center. A BIG jerk.

The thing that's interesting about "open carry", at least in Alabama.....it's never been against the law to "open carry". As long as you legally possess the gun and aren't carrying on private property without the private property owner's consent, it's always been legal (there are places that a firearm can't be carried, prisons, courthouses, public assembles, etc). I don't think people realize that. Additionally, in 2013 the State of Alabama enacted a law that allowed someone to carry a firearm openly in a holster or secured manner is not considered disorderly conduct.
Once again, knowing the law, know where you are and your attitude towards whoever is the police authority goes a long way. The problem begins when people try to "bait" the police and instigate a problem.
A reason a lot of LEO's hate open carry is because a large portion of people in the OC crowd are absolute morons with little to no gun training... it's nothing more than a walking hood ornament for them. You can spot 'em from a mile away... gun on hip, completely unprotected, as stanger(s) are within inches from them in public settings...
The day I got rid of it, traded it in for a new ‘96 S Blazer 4 door, I got pulled over by our local police where I was coaching at the time. I passed them as they were going the opposite direction. When they finally caught me, he wasn’t very happy! He asked for my license and when he saw me, he said “Coach, where in the Hell are you going so damn fast?” I told him I was headed to get rid of this “police magnet”. He told me to be careful and handed my license back! Before he could get in his car, I slung gravel all over the hood of his patrol car!!!

If the sheriffs and law-enforcement lobbies would have agreed to a law that you have permitless vehicle transport, there would not have been a constitutional carry amendment… it would’ve made a vehicle and extension of your home …but the sheriffs demanded you pay for a permit even to have a pistol in your vehicle… they wouldn’t compromise… so that’s when they started going for the constitutional carry law… the sheriffs Association didn’t think it would pass…… now they want to only make that available to 21 years and older… they are trying to “correct” the law… there is also now a movement to make you get permits for AR 15 top rifles, in the State House… Hopefully it goes nowhere…
Love guns with stories. Tried to refinish my dad's 69 A5 for him, he said the scars all told stories.
Prefer concealed cause I know who I'd shoot first.

Hopefully not.
Also in my county you can discharge your firearm on your property.
Also public beaches, it’s kinda funny duck hunters always hunt behind pirtofino “exclusive beach condos” people from out of town always call the police and they tell thrm every time that it’s legal to hunt on the beach…
Always makes me laugh. The hunters don’t actually set up or shoot where people “go to the beach” out of mutual respect for the vacationing people.
