What is a car/truck gun good for?

#1 I'll give you that one. Rifles and shotguns do have more energy to put on target that a pistol.

#2 pistols can and have been used at longer ranges than 25 yds, most old police pistol qualifiers were fired out to 50 yds and I've shot targets out to 200 yards with a pistol before and accuratly.

#3 not true. most service pistols in 9 mm and 40 S&W can carry more ammo in the mag than that, some have 20 or 30 rnd mags available for them

#4 for a non LEO if you can get far enough away that you would be out of a goblins pistol range your far enough away to get out of the situation. On the other hand if they are shooting at you with a rifle your in big trouble.

#5 they are both lethal force!!!! they will both kill you!!!!

Only reason I don't have one is worry of theft.

I'm not in the habit of discussing things that may or may not be in my truck.
A shorty and a couple of 30 rounders could handle most situations. Don't keep it there on a daily basis, only when I expect to go to the range.

Rattlesnake or rabid racoon got the maintenance man cornered at work?

skibane !! You lookin' for a job ??? We could use a guy like you !

Johnr:
Is that registered as a SBS or an AOW? I wouldnt mind a Rem 870 AOW (the SBS tax isnt worth it, in my opinion), but I dont believe there are many stripped recievers available that have never had a buttstock attached.

Well, i'll be the first to admit i don't have your pistol prowess to nail ANYTHING out at 200 yds acurately (with a pistol), unless you consider a T/C hand rifle a pistol. Also, if that were true of the police, the NH shootout pry wouldn't have lasted as long as it did. notice none of the police could make that headshot when it counted??


#3 not true. most service pistols in 9 mm and 40 S&W can carry more ammo in the mag than that, some have 20 or 30 rnd mags available for them

And how many folks run around with 30 rnd mags in thier ccw guns??? why not just carry the dang rifle which IS more powerful, and at that point just as concealable as the pistol with the 3 foot mag sticking out of it.


#4 for a non LEO if you can get far enough away that you would be out of a goblins pistol range your far enough away to get out of the situation. On the other hand if they are shooting at you with a rifle your in big trouble.


another preference issue. for me any range is rifle range, and if the time comes to rock and roll around my vehicle, my situational awareness will have the rifle right there at the ready, and in that kind of fight the man with the rifle is the one most likely to win.


#5 they are both lethal force!!!! they will both kill you!!!!

depending on which AR-15 owner you ask, the evil black rifle will definatly kill you more deader-er!

Where I live in the city, try as I might, I cannot think of a good reason to have a pickup RIFLE. I do have a pickup pistol (1911) in a carsafe bolted to the floorboard, with 2 extra mags, for defensive purposes, but I can't imagine I would ever have the need for a truck rifle. But if I ever moved to the country, I could see it, and would probably get the Kel-Tec SU-16 - not expensive if it gets stolen, and folds in half.
