TULSA, Okla. — A man was shot with his own gun after confronting a car burglary suspect at the Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen near 71st and Garnett, according to Tulsa police.

Tulsa's city leaders seem determined that Tulsa will be like the big cities of San Fransicko, Austin, Denver, Portland, Seattle, et al, and it looks like they're on their way.

This is a testament for why you “carry” a gun and not leave it in your truck.

I've never seen the value of a "truck gun". A firearm you buy with the intention of leaving it unattended in your vehicle on a regular basis. Has always seemed like a bad idea.

Yeah, my definition is a bit different. My truck gun is the carbine I toss in when going to check pastures or a long road trip. It goes to the room with me if I am traveling.
