There is no cure for stupid and that is the epitome of stupidity. Given today's litigious society, she/ you are leaving yourselves open to a catastrophic lawsuit if pistol is stolen.
And if the person that steals the gun shoots and kills or injures someone, I guarantee that your name will be on list of people being sued in civil court! For negligence!!!Id remove the gun without her knowledge and sell it. At least that way a criminal won't get a hold of it. Cause its only a matter of time before your paying for a broken window and a new gun.
I did and that was my intention all along. I'd let you all say what I'd get in trouble for saying.I’d have her read this thread.
nonsensical. its HER gun and if it the responsibility of the owner !00% of the time why are you telling him to do it.Remove the gun.
Sorry, but this is the responsibility of the person who owns the firearm.....100% of the time.
As I read it it's technically your gun. I'd take it back and have a conversation.
If she wants to go legally get her own gun then she's free to do with it as she pleases, legally speaking.
How would you all deal with a stubborn significant other leaving a firearm you gifted them in their car?
Get a cable lock and run it through the open cylinder and then lock it to the seat rail. By doing this the gun is protected from the typical smash and grab. It is also what I believe to be the minimum one should do when leaving a revolver in a car.
Thanks all. I sent her a link to this thread plus the statistics on vehicle firearm theft as well as stats on where criminals get most of the firearms that are used in crimes. She agreed that it was a bad idea, and said she'd carry it or leave it at home.
Community property, community trouble. She has no buisness having a gun. She is irresponsible.Do you get the part where it's her gun? What do you want the OP to do? Beat her ass and take it?
Educating a person is like addiction. They have to want to first. I'm sure he has dropped hits already. From the sound of it she is one of those all knowing better than others. If my wife put me at a legal risk like this I would take it away from her under community property and beg them to revoke her permit. If she ragged me about it she would be single real quick because it would be apparent she does not care about her own legal security nor mine. Noone is worth being with if they seek to endanger.You could link her some articles talking about how often crime guns are obtained from car theft and ask her if she feels comfortable knowing she could be arming someone that could commit some heinous crime. Do it tactfully of course. Perhaps she isn’t aware just how irresponsible her inadequate storage method is?
I recently read an article about local police in my area asking people not to leave guns in cars for this very reason. A quick google search should bring up lots of info on this subject.

Do not give a damn what you think on that subject. Mind your own biz in these respects.I'm having a real hard time believing you're even married
