not a fan of a pure "truck gun" and I always have a sidearm on my hip
BUT, I do have an underseat safe for some things I can't wear and/or take into certain locations; but they never stay in there overnight even though the truck stays garaged

I have an old Nylon 66 22 I always have close while in the woods they are nearly indestructible.

My Canik MC9 is my carry gun and thus my truck gun. I have a center console safe. Foolish to leave a gun in a car that isn’t locked. I know console safes can be pried open but at least make it hard for the thief.

I do have a Taurus PT92 9mm in my locked console compartment. When I get my CC holster I will be packing a S&W M&P 9mm Shield. Back a while back I read where several posters also kept either rifle or a shotgun. This is the reason for my post.

Both less than $300 pistols. Why does everyone keep cheap guns as truck guns? Is it in case they get stolen?
So they can use the extra money on a tuffy or console vault!
FWIW my “truck gun” cost me ~$2,500. But it wouldn’t matter what it cost… it would never permanently live there.

I put a sticker on the rear window of my truck saying I carry no guns but secretly I do gets them every time

I just keep the truck gun on top of the center console arm rest. I put a sticker on it that reads "If found, please return to______"
Am I doing it right?

Old 870 Tactical with Magpul stock (need all the spacers, I'm 6'5") and a couple of Esstac 5-round shotgun cards in/around BR. First-gen Mossberg MVP 5.56 with a 3x9 Leupold and a couple of 20-rd AR mags when I travel North or during hunting season.

Installed a center console safe.
Handguns, backup cash, credit cards, I.D.'s, keys, spensive sunglasses, powerbanks, backup cell phone... etc.. all go in the safe.
The combination is the last 4 digits of my childhood home phone number.
Good Luck

Memphis north?
G20 4 full mags just in case, 50 extra just in case in case.
Keep in the door with a koosie on the grip so it’s incongnishision. Live in a very safe area and used to not lock doors at circle k but do now.

Carry guns on you.
Truck guns under a rear seat. Locked. Not loaded.
Cheap and reliable in case it gets stolen, you're not out a ton.
No red dots. Only LPVO/prism or iron/non electronic sights.
16", so no sketching laws/regs.
Sleeve cover over it.
No sling. Extra mag. 77/75g OTM that police/FBI use. No 62g green tips. 55g FMJ better than 62g.
Carry holster between seats when you drive. On you when you get out.
Carry ammo - stay with widely used FBI/Police HPs (federal Leo 124, gold dot, etc)
Familiarize yourself with the weapon or platform. Min 200-300 rds on the range with it to familiarize with the optics/sights for distance/zero.
Oh yeah, and a G17 with irons somewhere else in the car is never a bad idea, either.
1 on you. 1 truck gun. 1 extra.

My friend keeps an AR15 locked in a compartment in his truck. I never saw a need to have a long gun with me. In some world I suppose I might need to pull over and shoot an animal or engage in a firefight but it’s not my world. Nothing wrong with doing it but doesn’t seem very necessary.

Nice Vudu. I have a 1-8x with a Spuhr mount on one of mine

There's nothing wrong with dots and back up irons if it's a duty grade optic.
