Truck Gun Considerations

Prior to reading this article, I thought a "Truck Gun" was primarily a lower-cost handgun that was kept in a vehicle for emergencies, and was generally one that you didn't mind getting scratched/scuffed up. Most of the people I know consider things like Hi-Points and Rock Island or Taurus revolvers, or older guns that they don't shoot often, to be truck guns.

I know a few people who prefer firearms like the Mossberg Shockwave/Remington Tac-14, or maybe a 10-22 Takedown, but I'm not sure that anyone I know uses a traditional long gun for this purpose. I spend most of my time in the city, so I would not be at all surprised if long guns normally filled this role in more rural areas.
 
I guess it depends. If working on a ranch vs driving to the city. Where I’m located and surrounded by cows and pasture and the predators being coyotes my AR would be my truck gun. If I were to go into the city I’d be more inclined to have my 12ga or possibly the 30-30. I agree with the keeping it locked up and my windows are tinted and my truck sits up pretty high.
 
I’d have a setup like this.

Not me...I wouldn’t want it out and obvious...it's asking for it to get stolen...also not legal in my state.

Back when I drove a truck, and was living rurally, I kept a few different inexpensive long guns behind the seat; a Yugo Mauser 48, a Nagant M44, a Norinco SKS were among the several that rotated in & out of the cab.

Now....I tend not to have a long gun in my vehicle very often...for a while, I had an AR pistol in 6.5G, but that’s gone down the road, victim of low ammo supply and just too good of a trade offer.

If anything goes in again, I suspect it'll be a braced Charger pistol, or a 10/22 takedown.
 
I have said it more times than I can remember,my truck/car gun is the gun i'm carrying at the time i'm in the truck/car.
