Love how my comment gets downvoted for god knows what reason. Perhaps it was mentioning liberals on reddit in any way, when really its just speaking the truth. Would be the only kind of person seeing two numbers 88 and making accusations of being a nazi, who tf else would assume that and further who else would go out of their way to accuse the person of being a nazi then after a simple explanation behind the number 88 and stating I hate nazis more than they do still get called a nazi anyway. Where people get it from I dunno but its stupid as hell. Why would I put some lame dog whistle number in the alphabet code in my user name if I was a nazi? the fact that you too get called a nazi speaks for itself. tons of birth year 88s, highway 88 residents or other reasons. Where I stay there are like a hundred businesses with 88 in their name. 88 this or 88 that, 88 Love is one of my favs. To be downvoted for even saying liberal redditors is hilarious, not like its an insult or something its just a fact. To find it distasteful to say that at all proves there are in fact liberals all over reddit why they find that to be worth a downvote is lame af. Not like I'm a nazi for making a simple statement like that. Silly people with silly convictions on the internet, lord help this era for it is full of soft asses & fools

Well none of the qualifications for a truck gun require that it be left unattended in said truck while parked at home, nor does it need to be unlocked or unsecured or even visible inside the vehicle if it was broken into. In my case it is hidden behind an interior panel modified to flip downward with only a tug at the top, but 99% chance anybody breaking into my beater truck is going to think to pull off the interior plastic behind the seats looking for hidden weapons is highly unlikely, its just the rear interior panel of a single cab beater truck, normally the only thing back there is the cabin filters.

Also in my case I live rural in a near zero crime area and do ranch work and mountain activities for a living so it makes sense. Short of taking my whole truck with them the chances a thief ends up with my rifle are highly unlikely.

Having a long gun handy for me is rather important, half the time when doing some work in remote areas I keep it up front but when in town it is hidden away where no one would suspect it. Living in an area where nobody really breaks into cars like that is a major upside to begin with, but at least keeping it hidden away is still wise. You don't see alot of old cheap wood rifles used in criminal activity really either. If it ever went missing it would just be some lousy thiefs woods toy or a quick hundred bucks if anything.
