How do you guys feel about "truck guns"

---

its essentially the only reason that keeps me in america.

I throw one in the truck occasionally -- usually based on political events.

For example, the day the SCOTUS decision was due on Obamacare, I tossed one in my truck. Figured that there might be Mogadishu-style barricades around town if the court ruled it unconstitutional.

My "truck gun" is an M1 carbine, equipped with an Aimpoint T-1, in a nylon case with 4-5 mags (CorBon DPX hollow points).

Any time I'm in my vehicle I have a G19 on my belt and and a 9mm Shield in the console. But I'm a lot better shot with a rifle - especially out beyond 20 yards.

A vehicle is not a secure place to store a firearm

Same here. I'm 46 and have had the same pistol in my vehicle since I was 18.

I don't keep one in my truck all of the time but I'll throw one in there when I travel or go into a not so great area.

Don't leave a gun in a truck for any longer than you are in the vehicle. It's that simple.

I always have an AR pistol in my truck.

I've kept a .40 in my door cup holder for about two years now

The experts over at Reddit would question your motives as to why you would have an AR-15 pistol in your truck. They think that if you have that or a shotgun, it’s not going to end well for you if you ever have to use it in a defensive situation vs using a handgun.

“If you have time to get to your vehicle to get your truck gun (shotgun/rifle), you have time to drive away from your threat.”

Here’s the Reddit thread. Notice I never say anything about truck guns or trunk guns. They just automatically assume that’s what I meant in the OP.
