Truck gun

[Wingshooter]

Honestly, my thinking is that the main reason I might want to keep a long gun in the truck is in case I find myself in a 'stranded/get home' situation. To me, if 'they' are not all that close to my vehicle then in most instances I would choose to simply drive away rather than engaging in a firefight. I am not saying that you are 'wrong' in your thinking and there may well be occasions where driving away might not be an option, just presenting a different view.

That's pretty much my reason as well. However, as a secondary purpose I try to keep something useful if a hunting season happens to be open. Sure enough, if I go near my land during an open hunting season without the appropriate weapon, that's when I see game, lol.
