My definition of a "truck gun" (Jeep gun for me) is a gun that you use when you can get to your truck or emerge from it, and your EDC pistol isn't enough to carry you away. To me, it's a step up from the pistol when you just can't get away. Where it's carried is of little consequence, so long as it's easy to get to. I haven't seen a rifle or shotgun in a window rack in probably 30 years . . .

Not "useless" ......one would at least make a good club.

Got to admit they do look good on TV..... Tubbs on Miami Vice made them famous...........

My understanding is the marshal's had them cut down to carry them concealed..... yet have a short range heavy weapon.....

While cool for me they rank pretty far down my list of useful/practical firearms...... YMMV...... but I doubt I'd ever practice enough to be good with one,..... again YMMV....I wouldn't want to explain one to a Police office at a traffic stop ( ya they are legal but most cops will see a 'sawed off shotgun)... with proper ID YMMV.... I don't clear houses...... I will be hunkered down..... again YMMV.

NO big deal to me;if it works for you great....just my take on these as 'useful to me". OP/ JimmyJ asked for opinions.......

Would love one in 20 gauge.... with a short length of pull stock thou!!!!!!

Muss Muggins...... LOL I did say "use to be carried" ...... ya it's been about 30 years for me too....... not a cop so for me a truck/ATV gun is a utility tool.......mine are a Mossburg 510 or a Ruger 77/357 or RAR compact in .22magnum....... your definition to me is a patrol rifle/shotgun found in a police car.

[QUOTE=sigp220.45;140120043]I was going to get one for myself, but I may hold out for the new Remington 870 version with the wood grip and fore-end.[/QUOTE?]


When is it suppose to come out?

With the short barrel rifles and braces on the market, why would that shotgun with a brace and fore end with the light be illegal? Seems like manufactures are making a lot of changes without reprocussions.

The Mossberg and Remington are legal with the brace. In fact, Buds Guns has the Remington TAC-14 in stock with the brace.
