A long gun carrier for a vehicle seat, the long gun carrier comprising:
- a main body having:
- a bottom, a back, and a slanted top;
- the slated top having:
- first and second gun-holding channels;
- each gun-holding channel adapted to removably contain a long gun;
- a transverse recessed area defining a gap that extends transversely across both the first and second gun-holding channels;
- wherein the gap divides each gun-holding channel into an upper portion disposed closer to the back and a lower portion disposed farther from the back;
- a strap passage extending through the body transverse to the gun-holding channels and below the gap and disposed generally in alignment with the gap;
- a strap access passageway that connects the strap passage to the gap between the first and second gun-holding channels;
- a strap assembly comprising a strap and an associated fastener;
- the strap assembly selectively closable into a loop via the fastener to secure a long gun within the first gun-holding channel with the strap assembly looping through the strap passage and the strap access passageway and across the first gun-holding channel at the gap.
A long gun carrier for a vehicle seat, the long gun carrier comprising:
- a main body having:
- a bottom, a back, and a slanted top;
- first and second gun-holding channels formed in the slanted top of the main body, each gun-holding channel adapted to removably contain a long gun;
- a recessed area defining a gap that extends transversely across the first and second gun-holding channels;
- a strap passage extending through the body transverse to the gun-holding channels;
- a strap access passageway that connects the strap passage to the gap between the first and second gun-holding channels;
