and "secure" does not mean "leave in an unattended vehicle." Dumbass acquaintance got his truck broken in overnight, and "they stole my pistol." Now another gun is in the hands of some thug

I blame the thief for stealing. I blame the owner for being irresponsible.

Was the truck locked? Then the gun was secured.

You probably blame rape victims for dressing like sluts too.

How about we brand thieves with a mark upon their cheek.

you better make sure he reports it stolen, I had that happen when my house was broken into 5 or 6 years ago and did not. I had a home visit from the ATF last year that made me pee my pants when they knocked. It ended up being my gun was used in a shooting in mexico and they had some questions but obviously when my alibis to not being the shooter matched up I was left alone. Still that gut wrenching feeling when you get a knock at your door from the ATF is one I never want to feel again

What do you describe as responsible actions necessary to secure a handgun in one owns vehicle?

The alternative to cutting off a hand is working well as a deterrent don't you think?

If you weren't an irresponsible gun owner and secured your weapons, ol boy in Mexico would still be alive.

How did they know you owned the gun?

There should be some civil exposure for your friend if someone is injured with that weapon. 10% of any judgement should be about right.

Then there should be civil exposure for a hoe bag who gives a cheating husband an STD who then in turn gives to wife.

Leaving weapons in a vehicle is stupid, regardless of your neighborhood.

Serial number will tell them what FFL transferred/sold it.

FFL keeps records for 10 (I think) years. Even though there isn't a gun registry, they can track a gun you bought through a FFL.

Federal firearm license

The thing that allows you to transfer/sell guns. Some people just refer to dealers/stores as a FFL.

Exactly the information they tell you they do not keep. The fedgov has a list. Sure, the FLL is required to keep it, but don't be naive, fedgov keeps it too.

Yeah I'm sure they do. The FFL is only one that's supposed to keep who they sold to and destroy it after a certain time period

I'm sure they still exist in other places though
