Heh!
Just find a way to secure it is all I would advise. Seriously. Even if you are not concerned about losing it from a smash-n-grab, consider this _very_ plausible scenario:
You go shopping, park your truck in the lot and go inside. While you're busy buying cat litter and Fancy Feast for your wife/girlfriend's annoying Persian hairball, BG #1 pops your window and starts ransacking your truck.
Behind the seat he finds your shotgun and associated ammunition.
You come out, find some dude leaning in your truck, yell at him and go running up to righteously kick his scrawny little butt. He sees you coming, freaks out and instead of doing the natural thing (run like a muthaf***a), he racks in a round and aims your gun at you.
Game over, you lose.
I don't like leaving deadly weapons where others can get them. Especially if they can get them and use them on little old me.

PS Kilgoril, you have a link to that device you mentioned?
