i own a safe at my house. it makes sense to properly secure your weapons. i carry mine everywhere and leave the others locked up unless i need them or im at home.Stop leaving guns in the car? Stop leaving guns at the house. No?
People get their guns stolen out of homes too. Silly logic.
Sometimes you can't carry at work, and have to leave the gun in the car. Or do you suggest leaving it in the safe until you get home? Kind of defeats the purpose of needing it.
The guys that get their shit stolen from the cars, were probably done by someone who knows you keep guns in the car, or it was visible from outside, or you're advertising with stickers. If it's a random break in, it's a random break in, and statistically it's unlikely that it will happen to you. I'm not going to apologize for keeping one in my car, just because you can take yours everywhere.
a house is far less likely to be burglarized than a vehicle parked on the street
and no, most guns arent stolen by folks they know, more likely people who do this in volume (quick smash and grab of several cars in the area is popular among shitbags)
arguments about likliehood aside, you can leave it in your car but its fuckin dumb but what advantage do you get from leaving a gun in your vehicle? i dont think there is one, its basically risk with no reward
