I camp out of the back of the 4R, so the shotgun is easily and rapidly accessible in that rack while I am sleeping. It exists not for self defense against humans, but against bears.
The rack is also a convenient way to carry a long gun up and out of the way, using dead space; and is easily accessed from outside either by opening the hatch or by lowering the glass a few inches.
The rack also keeps the gun hidden, since it is in the curvature of the roof and out of sight. Dirtbags, when peering in a vehicle, generally don't look up.
You can think it silly all day long, but it is the mod that most people who see my truck ask me about. I've probably sold 20 of those racks for Big Sky.
I love the mod and interior rack idea, but living in Philly or any city really..I can't justify losing my Mossberg to someone with a brick.
