Recently, the Springfield MA Police Department discovered a shotgun concealed under the hood of a motor vehicle.
The gun was rigged to fire from a switch located within the passenger area of the car.
Officers should be aware of this method of firearm concealment.
Somewhat disconcerting that someone has a concealed shotgun in their vehicle. However I can’t imagine this being terribly effective. It would be difficult to aim this and shotgun projectiles do not cover a very large area enough to do a lot of damage. So it would be higher risk of missing your intended target and hitting something or someone else.

You always seemed to hear about this in 80s, 90s cop/sci-fi stuff, I seem to remember.
I don't know if anybody has mentioned specifically where this came from, but the above stated story is not true. This vehicle was from a show that had been on the Discovery channel or TLC.
