Sometime I am forced to "leave it in the car." It sucks because it can be stolen. I can't turn around and go home every time I need to disarm. Sometimes I get called into work for an emergency, sometimes I need to stop by a government building, some stores I frequent are posted no cww, and sometimes I end up going to a hospital or doctor's office with my son that is a "learning hospital" considered an extension of some med school (in some cases I actually am required to park "off campus" to be legal). Now I could go back home to disarm, but I live 15 miles out of town. I could avoid stores that ban ccw out of principal, but times are tight and I am forced to shop where I get the best deals. I could also just leave it at home from now on since I can't carry everywhere I go during the day.
That being said, I carry a glock 19 on days that I know I may be forced to leave it in the truck. It's in a lockbox, but that really doesn't matter. I was out of town this weekend (at a hyatt in charlotte with a well lit, highly visible parking lot, in a nice section of town next to a bank with parking lot cameras) when the suv next to me had has windows broken out and a lock box stolen, as well as a dozen other vehicles. All in all, it's a risk if it isn't in your holster on your hip...but sometimes it has to be done and when it does I take my g19.
