That about a hundred guns a month stolen for vehicles, give or take. It would not be a bad idea to give safe boxes as Christmas gifts for those you know who carry but don’t have a gun safe in their cars.
Hornady makes good boxes and there is this one in Amazon for $29.79. Or you can grace your local gun shop and buy from them, I am sure they will appreciate the business and you are helping avoid having a gun end in the wrong hands.
W. T. F. is wrong with gun owners????? A hundred guns a month in 1! Town??? You would think after 1 or 2 the lightbulb would brighten just a tiny bit!!
Wow.
That is amazing, Miguel, that exact Hornady item arrived on my doorstep yesterday. I’ve never left a weapon in a vehicle before, but I thought, well maybe I will have to someday.

Secured to frame of vehicle.
Sounds like the locals have figured out how to launder guns in a way the police don’t bother digging into.
