Buried in a recent article about the arrest of teenagers in Florida for murder is this statement:
I have a lockbox in every vehicle for short term protection when I have to enter a prohibited area, like the Post Office. However. those are not for extended storage of any firearm.
Optional old f@r7 whine: Darn, I miss the days when a hunting rifle could live in the back window of a pickup truck all day, even in the high school parking lot.
On our local NextDoor.com list we see doorbell camera videos of miscreants searching cars in the wee hours about two times a month. Usually the burglars just look for unlocked vehicles, but occasionally they do break windows to get into the cars. In addition, several times a year someone reports the theft of a gun from their car in the middle of the night.The arrested suspects confessed to shooting Quarles in the vehicle, Woods said. The suspects obtained guns from car burglaries, he explained.
