My boss lives in the next block. He had a guy in his wife's car in their closed garage about 2 years ago. He chased him down tackled him and sat on his scrawny arse until the cops showed up. So it's not really the best of neighborhoods. There are definitely worse, but it's not the best.

Oh I agree, it's not the best neighborhood. But I never felt unsafe there ever... Well until now.

Definitely a drop in the bucket, but acting like there is no gun problem is how we'll end up losing the argument and losing our guns.

haha. I'm not scared but since I have had children it has changed me. also I really like my shite and people who steal from others drives me crazy even though all my stuff is locked up.

I was referring to this:

I'd just rather not feel responsible for another gun on the streets.
Just last week there were a couple of threads on the board about guns being stolen from vehicles and I mentioned how gui9lty I would feel if I found out someone stole one of my guns and killed someone with it, and that we need to take more personal responsibility for our guns. I was instantly labeled a bleeding heart liberal, and told I shouldn't blame the victim.
And now here's another, "someone stole my gun out my truck!" thread.
Jesus fricking Christ, if these kids don't start controlling their own guns, the liberals will do it for them. I wish they would get that through their thick skulls.
Don't leave guns in your vehicles, even if your vehicle is locked!

First off Im not a kid. Second, as I stated above, it was an accident. I always lock up everything I own, I just missed this time.
I understand your concern but berating me or anyone for making a mistake and then making fun of a serious accident like what happened is misguided.

You should be berated for making a mistake. there is no room for error with guns. You shouldn't even lock your gun in your vehicle since entire vehicle's can be stolen. It's irresponsible, that's why you should be berated.
What I was making fun of was actually the fact that I was berated in another thread for posting that I would feel responsible if a gun was stolen from me and used in a crime. It was an absurd thread with people trying to justify irresponsible behavior with their guns.
There are two very serious consequences that I can see happening with all these guns being stolen from vehicles, the first is that they are now in the hands of criminals. How would you feel if tonight you were held up at gun point - with your own gun? I know I don't want to be held up with your gun. But also I've been alarmed at all the threads lately about all these guns being stolen out of vehicles. I know if I'm alarmed, liberals would be incensed. If we don't get control of our firearms, the liberals will do it for us. That shouldn't be hard to understand. It just looks like people aren't taking gun ownership very seriously - I don't mean by all gun owners, but too many of them.
As far as I'm concerned this is a very serious matter. I'm sorry if you thought I was making light of your making your gun so available to criminals, I don't take that lightly at all.
If a berating is all you get from having your gun stolen, consider yourself lucky.

Makes two of us now!
I made the mistake of also admitting that I'm a girly man that feels a bit impeded when I have a gun inside my waistband.

Glad it turned out alright and you didn’t confront the obama supporter when you were not armed – had a buddy in grad school that confronted someone breaking into his truck whne he lived in Garden District in BTR, he wasn’t armed at the time (had a shotgun inside), this obama supporter was armed, shot my buddy in bicep thru the humerus, broke the bone and he went thru a surgery and months of rehab – never really did recover full use of arm. I think he had some CDs and pocket change in his truck ….

What you fail to realize is that this is your opinion and I and many other people dont agree with it. I am a very responsible gun owner that treats guns with respect. A mistake like the OP made by having a gun in the vehicle and not locking it is irresponsibility. Keeping a gun in a locked vehicle and said vehicle getting broken into and the gun being stolen is not irresponsibility, it's bad luck. How you cannot differentiate between the two is beyond me.

So give some useful instruction instead of bitching and moaning. Berating someone rarely does anything but piss that person off to the point to where they will do the exact opposite of what you advocate simply on the basis of pissing you off more.
In the past threads, you simply said that they were locked and couldn't be found. Great!!! However, you offered ZERO useful information to help another prevent this type of thing from happening.
Instead of the "holier than thou" attitude. How about using negative things as positive lessons.

In my opinion, luck has very little to do with it. There is a possibility that someone will break into your truck. In today's society, it's not as remote a possibility as it used to be. As such, leaving the gun in the truck increases the likelihood it is stolen. I have had 2 cars broken into a good neighborhoods. Thankfully, I never leave a handgun in my vehicle.

I never leave my handgun in my vehicle at night. However, in this instance, the OP was visiting someone else's house. He was not at his house so that he could bring it inside and lock it up. I have a gun in my truck 90% of the time that I am not sitting in my own house. Feel free to come and try to take it. If that's what you want to advocate to prove your point.
Do I lock my truck? Yes, most of the time. Do I remember to lock it EVERY time? Hell no, and anyone that says they do is a liar.

May as well defend yourself with a louisville slugger if perp comes into the house. He may shoot you but at least it wont be with your own gun and at least your guns will never be on the streets.

Well, when gun owners are told by the government that they're not in control of their guns so the government will have to control them for them, it won't matter who agrees with whom.

We disagree.
When so many entire vehicles are stolen, how you could think that simply locking your gun inside one makes it safe is beyond me.

it's bad luck
You think that's what the person being shot with your stolen gun thinks, 'oh, what bad luck'?
I know, I know, criminals are gonna criminal, it's not your fault for making guns more readily available to them, blah, blah, blah...
