<p>[QUOTE="jgremlin, post: 2574673, member: 42085"]Which is fine, nothing wrong with it at all. But lets be honest here. You're preparing for something that has never happened and while it certainly could happen, its not very likely. So if we're going to really honest, you're not keeping a gun in the truck for personal security reasons, you're keeping it in the truck because you like guns and want to have one with you. And again, nothing wrong with that. But if someone didn't know better and read a thread like this, they might get the idea that there is a measurable risk of being attacked in the truck and they are in danger if they don't keep a gun with them as well. Clearly that isn't the case.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reality is searching google for 'driver attacked in truck' produces no cases of drivers being attacked inside their truck while searching google for 'airplane destroys house' produces several instances where houses have been destroyed by crashing airplanes. I don't think anyone is going live in cave instead of a house 'just in case'. Keep a gun in the truck because you like guns. But don't give the new kids the idea that they are in imminent danger if they don't do the same.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
