Once again - what is the purpose of this gun? In my opinion, a "truck gun" only comes into use when the truck itself is used in a way that having a readily accessible gun is needed - i.e. farm/ranch/etc.
If you are in ANY way thinking that a long truck gun is a self-defense weapon while on normal streets then you need to do some serious rethinking. Any self-defense use of a weapon requires ready access. That is not going to happen if you have that shotgun tucked behind the seat. On the other hand, having a long gun accessible up front in a "ready" position is just asking for trouble from the law. Plus, every time you stop to go into a store you'll have to re-hide it again.
If you want a readily accessible self-defense weapon, a handgun is the only way to go. If you are a farmer/rancher/etc., and you need something to kill varmints, then go with the long gun behind the seat.
