Officers warn gun owners after firearm thefts in cars

[MacFromOK]

Yeah I read that too. It doesn't explain why you see this more and more these days. I just don't get it.

You didn't ask "why" ... you asked "how."

I have no idea why some folks do half the stuff they do anymore.

If it's in a locked car it is in a secure storage compartment. If someone breaks into the car and steals it, that's on the criminal.

If they don't want guns left in cars, make it where you can legally carry everywhere with no exception.

Good point, I see way more stolen gun reports from folks that leave them in their vehicle in the driveway overnight. Almost everyday I see a post on social media platforms about cars tossed overnight and guns stolen.

I had wondered what folks here that carry do when an establishment says no guns allowed. Just carry anyways? OR, go back to your vehicle and leave your weapon? One of the reasons I don't carry more is having to decide if I want to enter a place or risk leaving my pistol should this arise.

Some states' laws stipulate a "no guns" sign carries the weight of law. Oklahoma is not one of those states.

If a restaurant I frequent has a "no guns" sign, it means nothing in terms of the law. I carry concealed anyway, and have done nothing wrong. But if the owner of the restaurant somehow sees my sidearm and asks me to leave, and I refuse, I'm guilty of trespassing. Nothing more.

If he asks me to leave and I leave, then no law has been broken.

Now, if the "no guns" policy is already state or federal law (for particular circumstances), that's different. You cannot CCW to a sporting event in OK sign or no sign. You can't CCW into the post office. Etc.

I think people who leave their gun laying visible in a car are just asking to have it stolen. Sure they did not force anyone to steal it, but in today's world you should be smart enough to expect it.

Thank you.

As soon as you see “Moms demand action” you should know you are dealing with a Soros/Bloomberg funded group that will attack legal ownership of guns at every chance. No matter how many times they squawk “we dont want to take anyone’s guns”.

You can apply for one after you get a nut or two cut off!!

Serious answer: Anyone can legally change their name. Probably some woke BS where a couple want to be more inclusive with each other.

I'm never, NEVER unarmed unless going into a federal building. Schools would be another place to avoid if I had to visit one which I haven't.

The few times I leave my firearm in the vehicle I put it in a locked box with a security cable going around the driver's chair frame. Yes, a thief who knows what they are doing can get my firearm in a matter of minutes, but it makes it so a simple smash and grab will not result in my firearm being taken.

As far as the MDA fella, he can go pound sand. MDA is just another gun grabbing group.

Joshua Harris-Till is part of a safe gun activist group called Moms Demand Action.

WTF did they just call those sh*tbirds?

I lost 30 some guns in the home, never any from the vehicle.
