OK, I'll be the first wet blanket.
DONT
LEAVE
A
GUN
IN
YOUR
CAR.
I'm sure our IMPD members can give more accurate numbers, but multiple "truck guns" are stolen from cars every damn week here in Indy. Does your home gun safe have glass windows? Wonder why? Then why leave your firearm outside where any mope could come up and smash a window and steal it? They arent looking for your gun, but when they go fishing for change or anything that crackhead can find to sell for their next hit, they'll happily take your gun.
Its irresponsible. Dont do it.

I wouldn't leave one in the car overnight, but I don't mind keeping one in the car while I'm out and about as a supplement to my carry gun. Daytime vehicle break-ins are not all that common in public places. If it gets stolen, I'll be pissed and buy a replacement.
I'm sure that some liberal ****wit will be along shortly to lecture me on how anything that happens with that gun is now my fault, just like short skirts cause rape.
