.....Riding Shotgun.....
This idiom traces it's roots to the days of stagecoach's hauling money or gold bars to an undisclosed location, and refers to the guard riding beside the driver, who wards off hostile attempts to overtake the stagecoach goods.
In modern day use, it often refers to the person who has earned the right to sit up front in the passenger seat, next to the driver.
