In the Wild West stage coaches would have a driver and a second person with a gun to protect them. That person would have a shot gun, and so the phrase riding shotgun was born.

Sort of true
The original shotgun riders were the cowboy outriders on cattle drives from Texas to the railheads in Kansas.

The term stuck but the assumption that horse-drawn stagecoaches were the primary means of transportation in the American West is primarily drawn from Hollywood.

Sorry to be literal.

I know a lot of things, but I don't know a lot of other things.
