Hidden Rifle Storage Compartment Behind Pickup Truck Taillight

Surprisingly, Black Sheep Innovations isn't an American company

When you hear about pickup trucks and guns, you likely think of America. But Switzerland is another country where a robust hunting culture coexists with 4x4s, and Zurich-based Black Sheep Innovations serves both markets. The company specializes in modifying the kinds of pickups common in Switzerland (VW Anoraks, Toyota Hiluxes), and offers this unusual taillight-based hunting rifle storage unit:

It can also be used as a minibar…

…and, this being a Swiss company, a Nespresso machine.

VW Amarok - not Anorak, which is a type of cheap, waterproof but not breathable rain coat.

  Well, technically:
  Anorak, from Greenlandic anoraq: A hooded pullover jacket originally made of fur and worn in the arctic, now made of any weather-resistant fabric.
  Cheap is not part of the definition, though - anoraks are as diverse as standard jackets.

Great use of space, as long as locking is good and the firearms are stored unloaded then that makes sense. I like the idea of hidden firearms while travelling, a fear of mine is people stealing hunting rifles while someone is getting something from a gas station.

"I'm not sure why you'd go to the trouble and expense of storing a rifle back there" ... , I wouldn't want to sit shotgun with a (not on purpose) loaded gun in that secret compartment.
... not to imagine driver-side :-O
