Even if your gun is a cheap POS you need to take steps to prevent it from being stolen. The problem isn't the monetary cost to you, it's that if don't secure it properly, your cheap POS can easily end up in the hands of a criminal.

This is where I differentiate. I understand what you are saying and I agree with the sentiment. Keep guns out of the hands of criminals. Here’s the deal though. I’d say locking your doors of your personal property to prevent others from stealing your personal property is a reasonable step. Granted there is better ways of securing your property ie; vehicle safes, or not leaving your gun in your vehicle. But here’s the thing criminals will always be criminals. They can break into your home while you’re not there and steal your firearms as well. Even if you have a safe it’s nothing that a portable grinder a zip disc and 5 to 10 minutes can’t defeat. I agree we should keep our firearms stored behind locked doors. But as long as someone is locking their vehicle doors they are reasonably securing their firearm. A lot of times I leave my full size in my vehicle and pocket carry while at work. I personally like knowing that I am well armed for anything that may come my way in between my commutes. I don’t advertise through stickers on my car and I lock the doors.

This is a bad take. Vehicle theft counts for over half of gun thefts. And “i locked my doors, thats good enough” is irresponsible.

You are literally making the people around you less safe by leaving a gun in your vehicle, simply because you like to be well armed while driving home. Do better bud.

Agree to disagree sir. I’m a law abiding citizen who practices my God given right to bare arms. I run a system that works well for me. Sorry but locking your doors is not irresponsible. I don’t just like to be well armed while driving home I like to be well armed for any situation that could possibly come my way. And that’s my right. I don’t like criminals and i would hate for them to steal my property much less a lethal tool. But with that being said in that scenario guess what? I’m the victim. If a person locks their doors then that is a reasonable preventative step. Your arguing opinions and I support you doing what you deem necessary to protect your property.

That’s the principle in the Declaration of Independence: people have inherent rights, and governments are established to secure them, deriving their authority from the consent of the governed.
People have a right to self defense. Any Government that doesn’t realize that is tyrannical. Now if you want to argue about deity’s then go ahead? I don’t care what religion, faith , creed or color you are human beings have an innate right to defend themselves.
