The threads on ARs as truck guns and PDWs got me looking into the concept more. Here's the rub, living in the wonderful Commonwealth of Massachusetts, I've got some restrictions to deal with, not considering the political/cultural.
Based on the reason decision by the AG, the sale/transfer of AR pattern rifles are prohibited. Yes, its being fought in court but I'm not hopeful. So that leaves out the AR. AKs are also questionable.
Commenting on this in the other thread brought up a folding stock FN-FAL. The hiccup to that is that folding/adjustable stocks are only allowed on pre-1994 receivers. State Assault weapon ban never sunset here. That includes the M1 Carbines.
A non-legal issue, everyone else in my family is cross-eye dominant. They all shoot long-guns left handed. I don't. So that basically eliminates the bullpups like the Tavor.
Given these parameters, what's your thoughts on an appropriate truck/bag gun? Semi-auto, bolt, or lever action. I'd consider any of them.
