[QUOTE="HiredHand, post: 3967764, member: 2469"] That’s patently false. People still leave guns out in the open inside their vehicles. Door pockets, center consoles and stuffed between the seat is hardly concealed. Companies market holsters that openly secure the gun inside the passenger compartment for easy access. Firearms stored openly aren’t the only reason for vehicles to be burglarized. Valuables items like cell phones, stereo equipment, sporting goods, etc are all targets for thieves. I’d rather not add guns to that list because after all, I go out armed because wait for it… criminals using guns might want to deprive me of life or property. Also, who suggested that crime would go down as a result of fewer guns left in cars? I’m just pro-not making it an easier for bad guns to arm themselves. ^ another slippery slope argument that attempts catastrophize and personalize a series of events that nobody can predict. I’m not responsible for what someone else does after they steal from me. I do feel a sense of responsibility to prevent things from being stolen from me. ^ You are filter and only choosing to see the negatives as well as discounting the points in the video that don’t support your belief that you’re special and why safer storage doesn’t apply to your circumstances. He has a pistol vault inside his console. Regardless of your opinion that the storage locker is garbage, the storage device does reduce the potential of the firearms to be stolen from a smash and grab burglary. He mentions on several occasions that he removes his firearms from inside the vehicle overnight. Bottom line. Most of us recognize there will be times that we have to store a gun inside of our vehicle. Some of us are of the mind that this should be done in a way that minimizes simple theft and only for the briefest of amounts of time, if possible. [/QUOTE]
