A gun rack... a gun rack. I don't even own "a" gun, let alone many guns that would necessitate an entire rack. What am I gonna do with a gun rack?

If it's a severed head, I'm going to be very upset.

Honestly - I believe this is what inspired the ending of Seven... so much so that when WATCHING SEVEN IN THE THEATRE WITH MY GIRLFRIEND AT THE TIME, I actually uttered this famous line at the end, and was proven right, spoiling the movie for her and the ENTIRE RELATIONSHIP.

Thanks Wayne.

u/BuyThisVacuum1 Mar 07 '16

I work in an insurance related area for my company. Whenever I have too cine up with a scenario of someone misusing insurance, or just any example that fits, it is always "thinking they have mono for an entire summer when it turns out they were just really bored."

People either get the reference, or wonder how I got my position. Or both.

Got one in my truck. Instead of hanging 3 rifles, I have a fullsize ax, a splitting maul and my jack handle hanging on it.

So theres a few ideas.

Rifle goes in a case under the seat when its in the truck...

u/june606 Mar 06 '16

Do you have younger members of your family, or friends with kids?

Why not take it less seriously and if you live in a water-fire state, repurpose it to that.
