Shotgun Scabbards

Re: shotty scabbard

welcome from NY. you found a great site and a great crew.

Re: shotty scabbard

Welcome aboard!

The Condor and the two you linked above are essentially the same. The only other manufacturer I know of is Voodoo Tactical, but I have no idea where they're made...

Re: shotty scabbard

FWIW,

Whether using the scabbard with a standard stock or one with a pistol grip I've never used the retention strap. It's plenty tight and you won't have to worry about the weapon coming out unless you want it to...

Re: shotty scabbard

I have the Voodoo Tactical. Its a decent scabbard, plenty of MOLLE (I have a machete attached to mine) and its plenty snug. Def won't work if you optics or light or any other accessories, just real decent for field use. The strap it comes with sux though.

For an American made scabbard, you'd have to check with Eberlestock. I don't know if it has a strap though.

Re: shotty scabbard

Ooohh, good call on Eberlestock...

Re: shotty scabbard

Here's the Eberlestock;



I've seen on Midway they have these in like a realtree or somethin with MOLLE runnin across em.

Only thing is I don't know if these are meant to work as stand alone pieces or intended to be used with a pack.

They have scabbards for scoped firearms too if you're usin optics or anything.

As usual, the letter of the law itself is hard to interpret without a lawyer present.

Basically, under Tennessee law, a handgun, shotgun, or rifle carried by a non-licensed person in a vehicle in Tennessee must be unloaded and in plain view or secured in commercial gun cases. Rifles and shotguns carried in a vehicle must remain unloaded and ammunition must be kept separate ("not in the immediate vicinity") of any firearm unless the vehicle operator has a recognized carry permit. Tennessee now allows valid HCP holders to possess rifles and shotguns with magazine loaded, but chamber unloaded in vehicles.

There's no specific mention of a scabbard, but the law implies that a weapon may be transported "in plain view". These firearms laws in TN are put in place for purposes of "in defense of judgement", to be used in defense of prosecution. I would highly recommend contacting your local Sheriff's Department for their take on scabbard carry. It's one thing to know the letter of the law, but the most valuable information will come from those that may be the ones pulling you over when you have a shotgun in your car...

Yes Sir,

With an HCP you will be able to transport your rifle/shotgun loaded, but not chambered, in your vehicle. However this law was passed primarily as a defense of prosecution for farmers/ranchers who need to keep loaded rifles/shotguns in their work trucks to protect their livestock from predators. Before this new law as passed a long gun was considered "loaded" if a loaded magazine was transported within reach of the weapon. Even with an HCP, carrying loaded magazines in a separate compartment of the same rifle case as the weapon was against the law. Same for carrying shells in the same case as a shotgun. Mags and ammo for long guns were to be transported "out of reach" of the weapon, ie. gun in the trunk, mags and ammo inside the vehicle. This still holds true for transporting ANY firearm without a valid HCP. It is currently unlawful for any weapon to be transported within reach of mags or ammo for non-HCP holders. Best to have the weapon in the trunk or in the furthest rear area of an SUV and the ammo as far away from the weapon as possible.

When you get ready to buy your 1911 hit me up.

I've got a great spot in town with 1911 inventory at pre-buying frenzy prices. They're great people who refuse to turn this political craziness into a profit at the expense of their customers...
