    So I stumbled upon this image somewhere recently and considered it interesting.

    Though the cost of equipping a trailer with all this stuff would be quite expensive (for personal use), I then thought this could be a good idea for a small business... renting a selection of guns and frequenting popular truckstops.

    Thoughts? See below.

    Might be a neat idea for truck stop entertainment once you got the insurance figured out. But I'm just not sure how much long-term fun a 50 foot shooting range would be -- I thought most pistol ranges are 50 yards? Maybe stack 3 trailers end to end?

    To most that park in a major truck stop, it wouldn't be long term.
    Simply an opportunity to do something most of us enjoy but can't do on the road.

    Maybe they could have a target selector button. You could choose between several targets. Like dispatchers, dot cops, 4wheelers, ex spouses etc.

    People try to SLEEP in truck stops----BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG!!! Nope....stupid idea. Get with a company that gets you home more often, and do it there.

    How you like to get woken up after one of them pulled in next to you? My dogs would go nuts!

    Swift tries backing in next to shooting trailer - BAM! - knocks trailer, shooters stumble, lose control... big liability.
