[QUOTE="Schlafftablett, post: 3908301, member: 47874"] It’s great that you want to abide the law but you do have the choice of locking the gun up. I literally get guys in the store every few days telling me they need a new gun because theirs was stolen from the car/truck/bike. When I really press some of them, I come to find they’re the type who want to have a gun “with them“ but don’t want to actually carry it because of any of a list of excuses. The conversation usually goes like this… “Did you have it in a lock box or was the glove box locked? ”No, I just put it under the seat / in the center console so I can get to it quickly while I’m at work since I can t take it in” ”We have lock boxes right here for as little as $25.” ”Nah, I’m ok.” Anti-gunners always talk about “common sense gun laws“ and majority of us look at them, justifiably so, like they don’t know what they’re talking about. But proper gun storage really does fall under “common sense“. I mean, I firmly believe that nearly everybody should be allowed to own guns and that every gun owner probably should take it upon themselves to become trained and carry one. I also believe that guns that aren’t in use by or under the direct control of their owner should be properly secured from theft or unauthorized use. That isn’t to say properly secured guns don’t get stolen but It certainly reduces the likelihood by a considerable amount. There are always excuses and even the occasional criminal who goes above and beyond and actually will break through a security device but at the end of the day, most of the guys that I see lose their guns because they’re just irresponsible owners not because the criminals are all that motivated.
