LOL, it means you get to sit up front. I think back-in-the-day, it was for the stagecoach guys. The driver had a guy next to him with a shotgun, in case of thieves. They didn't really have 911 or an ability to lock the doors and speed away.
In this thread, it means you were first to post, or first to call "shotgun."
