Back before I had to have crew cab pickups, I always had a Ruger 10/22 in a scabbard behind the seat. I even made a couple of multi-day trips to Mexico with it in there, because I never thought about it until I needed it. Could have been bad!

Down on the ranch, my usual truck gun was a semi-custom 722 in .222 Remington. After .222 brass got so hard to find about 15 years ago, I had it rechambered to .223. Some days, though, I rode with the .25-35 Model 94, just for the hell of it.

Now that I live in "town", I usually have the Bushmaster in the truck when I am just out driving around the countryside.

Some days it takes most of the day for me to do practically nothing...
