Thread: Take down rifle,

Which means even stopping off for a piss at a public toilet on route to hunting, or a coffee and pie at the bakery is technically a no-no.

Just go to a bakery with windows, and park the car in sight of them. Or if the vehicle is locked & alarmed and you're in hearing range of the alarm, that should also count as attended. If I have a firearm in the car and have to leave the car briefly for some reason I also slip the bolt into my pocket when I go, but I guess thats not really an option with a lever action.
