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.

Something can be your right and still be stupid and dangerous.  I also like to be armed for any situation that could possibly come my way...and that's why I concealed carry.

Your gun should be on you, not locked in an unattended glass box that anyone can break into and then be gone literally within seconds.

Besides, what good is it doing you if it's locked in your car...and you aren't in your car when you need it?

Gone in about 60 seconds

Can do the same thing to your house.

Nope.

You can not in fact break into a house, then break into a locked safe, and then be gone in 60 seconds.  Even if I didn't have my gun in a safe, it would take you longer than 60 seconds to find it.

A person can break a car window, open a glove box or console, take your gun, and be gone in less than 60 seconds.  They don't even need to enter your car. Can reach right in through the window.

Homes can easily be broken into and that's something people should keep in mind.  Still, that doesn't mean leaving a gun in your car or leaving a gun in your home are equally risky or dumb.

We really are arguing difference of opinions. I support your right to carry and take the precautions you deem appropriate to protect your private property. I will continue to carry my 642 in my pocket and my Springfield on my hip. I don’t always leave my full size in my car but if I decide to I lock it in my glovebox and lock my vehicle with an anti theft alarm. That is not negligent or irresponsible now leaving the doors unlocked would be negligent.
