It's a deterrent when someone is inside the vehicle with the gun. It's not a deterrent when nobody is inside the vehicle and people know that a gun is still inside the vehicle. Then it becomes a reason to break into the vehicle.
The Army still has them and thankfully that hipster look is finally a thing.Back in the olden days in the military the women had special protection from unwanted attention with an item we called RPDs. Any old wacs remember them?
RPD stood for Rape Prevention Devices. View attachment 30825
LOL. I was wondering the same about you since you feel the need to mount a shotgun on the doghouse to, "let people know you mean business". Where do you travel to?My bad it's 27 inches overall. .FYI. Just curious where do you all camp/leave your bus/campervan etc on the south side of Chicago? East St Louis? You make it sound like there are roving thrives out there following you around-scary.
I would like to think that was what I was trying to say... people used to leave folks stuff alone, theft wasn't as prevalent and people didn't wear "I don't want to get involved blinders". You display a shotgun when you are there, people see and know you have it... they wait and watch you leave then break in and get themselves a shotgun, pistol whatever you have.Very true, 100% agree. Especially when its on display. But the question was phrased "WHY would you advertise that you are armed in your van/bus". So I didn't connect it to the shotgun show and tell. lol
In these times its always best to conceal and don't tell a soul.
Although I have that shotgun mounted on the doghouse doesn't mean that's my only defense.i guess I'm slow but I don't plan on staying anywhere I don't feel safe to begin with. Are all your Walmart's full of murderers? I'll steer clear of those.LOL.

I've stayed at dozens of WMs over the years and no, they don't tend to be 'full of murderers'. Where did you get that idea? WMs have lots of lighting and cameras so really they are pretty safe. I usually park directly under one of the lights. They are at least as safe as other types of places in most cities. Many 1000's of RVers and truckers stay at WMs all over the country.Although I have that shotgun mounted on the doghouse doesn't mean that's my only defense.i guess I'm slow but I don't plan on staying anywhere I don't feel safe to begin with.
