I'm thinking about an inexpensive trunk gun. I don't have much money for this, so I'm looking at .a 22 or a 12 gauge pump or a surplus military bolt action (probably a Russian MN because they are dirt cheap). I carry a Glock on me, so I'm not looking for another pistol or handgun advice. Thanks.
I never have, unless you count a hunting long gun in a rack of a pick up during hunting season. In my state it must not be loaded either way.. rack/trunk
I hit a jeep in 09 at night on a motorcycle, because the jeep hit a moose. I was armed with 2 handguns, but waited for the cops to come put the moose down. The moose went into a swamp as I followed wondering if I should finish the moose. The moose could not use either hind leg.
It would have been kinder to the moose to put it down more quickly, but I didn't want to go to prison for shooting with in 350 feet of the state road.
20 years ago I would not have worried a bit, and did put a horse down that got loose and was hit by someone elses car. That time i was just there and was on my way hunting. I didn't carry a SD weapon back then at all, didn't even own one.

Yeah, leaving an assault rifle in your truck. Great way to arm a car thief. Same with gun racks, good way to get your window broken out and gun stolen. I really don't think too many of us can justify the need to carry a shotgun or rifle in their car for self-defense. (Los Angeles residents aside... LOL)
Seriously, I think the negatives and liabilities outweight the benefits. If you can't hit the bad guys with a Glock and a couple of magazines they are either too far away for a legit self defense claim or you need to hire a bodyguard who can.

if you can enter the property where I work without getting caught and break into my vehicle and open up the case where I have my firearms, you are welcome to them. 24 hour security is not only good for the public, but also good for the employees.
