......meow! (sic)

At least prescription meds come in childproof bottles. Any moron can point a gun and squeeze a trigger.

Yes, I'm familiar with trigger locks..but a lot of (NOT ALL) people I know that have guns don't use the locks because they want to have quick access to the gun, if needed.

Yes, I know that responsible gun owners teach their own children how to respect guns..yet there still seems to be a lot of..."the child found the parents gun" stories out there.

There is a difference between letting my child be near a tarp covered, elevated, round circle and letting my child play with a deadly weapon.

Sometimes It works to stack the deck in the favor of your child once in a while.

The employee is then called to the vehicle by the employer and given the option of subjecting themselves to an immediate vehicle search and being vindicated or fired, based on what the officers report finding to the employer and the discretion of corporate policy; not law.

So how do they know whether it is drugs or a gun? Does the dog tell them?

Let this be a lesson. Always borrow your neighbors car when you go to work. Or you could empty a couple of shotgun shells down the vent of your CMs car. Just for fun, of course!!

There are many more stories of parents murdering their own children BY LEAVING THEN IN A LOCKED CAR ALL DAY, then accidental shootings.

We would save many more childrens lives if we were to simply outlaw the automobile.

He opened fire on employees, killing six and wounding eight.

Afterward, authorities retrieved three more guns from his truck. ]

Sorry hear this story.
If one of the employees had a weapon on them,legally, and saw someone with both hands full (it is hard to carry two long barrelled guns, the rifle must have been on a sling), there might have been only one killed and no wounded.

You are so right, thank God for the government that mandates childproof bottles being dipensed to 80yr old patients that have arthritis.( unless they have special dispensation from the doctor)
At least the children are safe.
I hope you can see the analogy between government control of guns and who should be able to possess them.

Just lock it to the seat frame with a cable lock and don't advertise that you have it.

I'd rather be missed by a .45 than hit wit a .22:confused1 BC (not Big Caliber)

You took a little wind out of my thoughts, as a concealed weapons permit holder I would never leave my firearm in my truck. That is probably the worst place to leave your gun. When Im packing which is nearly allways, it is on my hip. Im convinced that rules against firearms are allways put in place by people who have very little experience with them and people who just dont understand or dont want to understand that someone who is set on commiting a gun crime does not give a rip about someones 'no gun zone' rule. The people who are going to go rob or shoot someone arent going to read a sticker on the door that says no firearms allowed and say 'oh boy I guess I cant go in there because guns aren't allowed.
we should not be a victim of some ******* with a gun and an attitude whether we're at work or at wallmart because we were unarmed and helpless to defend our selves. Just think how the outcome might have been if a few of the teachers at virginia tech would have been packing. The right to keep and bear arms will allways be the law of the land here and the deterent of a well educated and armed citizen is the best defense.

ACTUALLY...

Total number of U.S. hyperthermia deaths of children left in cars, 2007: 28

Data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reveals that every day, nearly eight children or teens are killed by gun violence in America — 235 each month.

Keep the cars lose the guns.

"children or teens are killed by gun violence in America "

ACTUALLY:

If you were to READ my post, you'd see that I said "accidental shootings", NOT all gun violence.
You're comparing apples to oranges.

Keep the car AND a loaded .45 in it.

This is a no win discussion.

I don't care if anyone carries a gun. Do what you got to to.

I personally wouldn't.

"This is a no win discussion.

Agreed.

I don't see anything wrong with keeping a weapon locked up in your own car. The security guards we have are a joke. All they do is sit at the guard gate checking IDs, I have never seen one patrolling the parking lot. They are unarmed, so what can they do anyway? There are shootings on a regular basis in the apartments surrounding our Hub, I don't see any reason that it is wrong to be able to defend yourself traveling to and from work. I don't carry myself, but I have several weapons within easy reach around my house.

Scratch, i own a house in that county and i agree with you... my motto is " Kill em All , Let God Sort em Out!!" BC (not ballistically challanged)
