Good practice is to never leave firearms from shooting position unattended and NEVER go downrange UNARMED.
a friend of mine use to go shooting in hogg canyon down by patagonia, i.e. mexican border. left his gun in the tailgate of truck, went downrange with wife to check targets, looked back, herd of illegals at the truck. were wanting water, no harm no fowl, but he quite going to hogg canyon to shoot.
