Sigh. Another gun on the streets because of a dumb arse.

I would call him ignorant before calling him a dumbass.
Now, if he's been told about how bad it is to keep a gun in a vehicle, yet still does it..........that's a dumbass

I'm not sure what that thing on end of barrel is supposed to add for the gun.

with the addition of a Strike Industries Micro Threaded compensator, delivering reduced recoil and flatter shooting performance.....

Strike Industries® Micro Threaded Compensator - Redirects expanding gases to reduce felt recoil and muzzle rise, allowing faster follow-up shots and improved control in a compact platform.

It's tacti-cool and supposed to allow faster second shots

but search feature still sucks.

Since it’s hard I found these for you in less than 5 minutes. For future reference don’t use the search feature within Tigerdroppings. Instead do a google search and add Tigerdroppings after your search words such as “handgun recommendations tigerdroppings”. You are welcome.

Oh and don’t keep a gun in your vehicle unless you have a way of locking/securing beyond just locking the vehicle doors. It’s widely considered irresponsible gun ownership and how many thugs easily get their hands on guns.

If you aren't intelligent enough to understand why you shouldnt keep a gun in a vehicle, then you are a dumb arse.

Looks like everyone has told you to not
Leave it in the truck already…
Don’t make the mistake of getting a small gun, everyone thinks small and tiny will be easy to shoot and it’s opposite. Small is snappy and hard to control.
How old is she? Any strength issues?
My MIL was mid 60s and somewhat frail and she had trouble racking my Glock 17-19 and 43x. No issues shooting them.
She ended up with a MP shield EZ with the easy slide. She shot several boxes of ammo with it and qualified for her concealed carry permit with it.

Ruger LC380

Wow. Lot more OT type replies than expected.

Thanks to those with suggestions.

It's in a safe.

Thats mounted to what? Plastic that is easily ripped off the mount and now they have your safe and gun? Is it mounted to the frame of your vehicle with grade 8 bolts? Doubtful.

I park in a secured parking garage.

Ask One Shell Square how "secure" their parking garage with security guards was 3 years ago when 4 vehicles were stolen in less than a months. Those pesky fire escapes can only be so secure to pass fire code.

How many of yall have had guns stolen out of your trucks to be this butthurt?

Over 50% of all guns stolen in the US are stolen from vehicles. It’s estimated in 2024 that almost 85% of criminals acquired their guns from illegal means…stole it, bought it from someone who stole it etc. keep it in your vehicle if you want but make sure it gets locked down.
I have a S&W Model 15 that was stolen out of my dad’s truck in 1984. He reported it. In 1992 his buddy who was a detective called him and told him his gun was used in a local murder. My dad got it back after the guy pleaded to manslaughter. He gave it to me some years later.
