Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Leaving a gun in a vehicle?

You mean like cops when they take off on foot leaving behind the 870 or AR15 patrol rifle in the squad car?

I use to keep a cheap Remington 783 in the truck, but after a year of doing that, I found 3 more put into the truck when I wasn't around.

To be unarmed is to invite trouble...

Sign I am working on...



Drop me a PM if you are a sign maker... Thanks

Leaving home without a rifle is deliberate stupidity.

Kimber 1911 in the console of the work truck with an extra loaded mag. I’m in it 7 days a week, but yes it’s in there all the time whether I am or not. Usually with the keys in the ignition. Who the hell’s gonna steal a dirty 3500 dually diesel service truck? If I had a Honda accord maybe I’d think differently but don’t see that in my lifetime.

I once read that 400,000 vehicles are robbed for firearms per year. Gun guys know most firearms used in crimes are stolen. Do the math. I know four people including a cop who’s vehicles were broken into and robbed of firearms.

None had gun stickers or any of that jazz on their vehicle.

You mean the 870 or AR-15 secured in a locked rack?

No choice when you have to go into a no weapons building.

Yep, nothing you can do about stealing the whole car, but I use these and they seem to be good for securing a revolver for snakes and stuff, like Chinese weather balloons. Sure they can probably rip out the whole console given enough cover and time, but it's all about balance.

Ditto for two longtime friends of mine AND one of their brothers, all Texas Rednecks. One from a Honda Accord at night on the wrong side of town. One from a pickup in a driveway on the nice side of town overnight, one from a pickup in the parking lot of an upscale restaurant in broad daylight. No bumper stickers involved.

One stolen gun was a five-shot stainless S&W .44 Special, another was a heavily worked over .45ACP 1911. Both these losses hurt.

The only one recovered was a Springfield Armory single stack 9mm (XDM??), found by a homeowner on his suburban front lawn 25 miles away two days later.

"Anyone who discloses personal information on this (or any other) forum is a fool."

Almost as dumb as those who respond to "how much do you earn".

Simple ISP trace followed by home invasion.

Yeah, I see your point. I mean, it's not like a criminal can find the homes of wealthy people near their own locations just by looking at the homes themselves.

And 90% of the people on the fire are using the ISP provided to them either by work or their cell phone provider....

LOLOLOL.

I've long maintained that white Oakleys were the fastest way to spot a douchebag playah.

I told that to a buddy of mine a few years ago and he looked for a moment like I spit in his coffee, then he laughed and told me that he sure put a lot of miles on his white Oakleys back in the day.

You guys do realize you're quoting Larry Root, right?

Did he, per chance, have a jet ski?

Try Aurora, CO. Everything gets gone. There are no good areas as such. 3rd time caught you get a misdemeanor. Kids try every door on the street, break windows, open mailboxes. Vigilantism is mentioned more and more.
The signs are a suggestion, no penalty if you leave when asked. I never tempt fate at the postoffice. Metal detectors are a different story at hospital, court, etc.

If you ever find a way for a skinny old man to conceal a 1911, tell me. LCP mostly

Not even in the driveway .
