I keep a Glock 22 mounted in a spot close to me in the cab. That's pretty much all I need.

I hope you take it out when you leave the truck. Don't arm criminals!

That said, I wouldn't mind one of these for longer drives. Hip IWB can be uncomfortable driving depending on the pants I'm wearing.

Also, the 10/22 takedown is finally out, though supply is scarce.

That's pretty cool, though I'd be afraid i'd smack my knee into it every time I get into the truck.

Oh no my baby goes wherever I go. It makes my wife a little nervous, but the very last thing I'm gonna let happen is her or myself get kidnapped, or worse.

In studying to be a officer, I know my gun needs to be my last resort. Hopefully I will never have to be in that position.

Not going to be an easy task. My wife is 5'1" and 110 soaking wet. I remember well the first time she fired my gun. Think she bout had a heart attack.

Yep, all the same. Different states call it different things like DWI vs DUI.

My wife is 5'4" and (when she isn't pregnant) about 115-120. She's shot my Sig P226 but has trouble racking the slide. I bought her a used Walther P22 to practice with. No recoil, not too much bang, and easy to rack. We'll move her into 9mm when she feels the need.

My wife is pretty girly and not at all outdoorsy, but she's doing pretty good with guns now.

Mine doesn't hunt (yet) but likes to camp, fish and play in the mud.
She doesn't like the cold though.

Put simply, I'm a redneck country boy and she's a big city girl. Lol. I tried getting her to go camping and she was scared shitless of beats. Even though I had my glock and two shotguns. She's warming up to the concept of camping though.

Hunting...forget about it.

My wife over the duration of the year will hunt more then I do and for longer. I just dont have the time to go out and scope, track like I use to. So I go and tag out rather quick, as where she might spend alot of the winter finding the right take. She is(like woman usaully are)very picky. We hunt to eat, we dont go for trophies but she tends to pull more quality these days then I. But keep in mind this has been a 14year teaching experiance for her.

Thats the boat I'm in as well, it doesn't help that i haven't been out and about for more than 10 years. This last Tecore really helped. I'll probably take her out to VA for an overnight trip in the spring unless I run into a nice area closer.
It's funny, she was anti gun before we met and now she's all about firearm rights. She likes the 22 but is still shy of the 9mm. What makes no sense is she has no problem with th 12ga and can shoot a nice round of trap. Leave it to a woman to make no sense at all lol
