Reply to comment by MLM1414 in Richmond saw notable drop in murders last year, but thefts from vehicles caused property crimes to soar by ThatChildNextDoor

Even if it's at home in your garage, a gun left in a vehicle is asking for problems. A gun should be like eyeglasses; they're either on your person or secured in their case (I know, people aren't this careful with glasses either, but they should)

I really don't understand the whole concept of a "truck gun" or having a dedicated firearm you regularly leave in your vehicle. It's just asking to be stolen. My CCW is either on my person, within arms reach, or locked and unloaded. It requires 0 effort to carry it back and forth to my car when I'm going out. People with truck guns are blatantly lazy and irresponsible

Absolutely agree. That's the problem with "responsible" gun owners, a lot aren't actually as responsible as they think they are; they "grew up with guns" or sat through a hunting certification course without actually retaining anything.
