I personally conceal carry most of the time (except at work) but I also keep a gun in my truck that stays there. My suggestion for a "truck gun" is one that you wont be overly sad about loosing. What I mean by that is, if someone breaks into your vehicle and stumbles upon that gun, you probably don't want them stealing a high dollar gun or one that would cost a ton to replace. My truck gun is a S&W SD9VE, I've found that it's a very reliable gun and it was extremely cheap so in the event someone breaks into my truck and it gets stolen, I wont be too upset that it's gone and could easily go out and purchase another.
THAT's why I won't leave a gun in a car parked where the gun (or the vehicle with the gun in it) could be stolen.
This, right there! My sentiments exactly!
