Hmm, if you have any friends who are cops, have one come over and walk you out of the house in cuffs, muttering something about filing a false police report...
then have them call and apologize about the cat.
the look on her face as she runs out of the house should be priceless, but I would suggest that you start looking for a new place or girlfriend, that one isn't a keeper.

Wow.
Lots of improper things come to mind.
None of them postable.
Most of them violent, and or "funny" in that less than funny sort of way.
Thoughts of that cat prank come to mind.

I would wear my gun into her house and always wear it. If she complains, then Oh, Well, she got you thinking how dangerous it is in the glove box, after all, someone stealing it could have killed people before the gun was even found lost.
Tell her calmly and firmly that you decided you are not going to take those chances and possibly risk other people's lives just to console her.
If she doesn't agree, so what?
If she tells you leave, don't bring that gun here, then leave and never return as she is no friend of yours anyway if that is the kind of stuff that turns her crank.
This is a serious situation which could have escalated rather quickly had you immediately contacted the police!
Just suppose you are in her house and someone comes to the door and breaks and enters, then she would be preeettttty happy that her friend is ARMED!

FDF- Being belligerent towards friends and acquaintances doesn't strike me as very "High Road." My home is my castle and I decide what does and doesn't go on in my home. Same for others. If someone prefers I don't wear a gun then I either don't wear it or I don't go there. Being argumentative and acting superior doesn't win friends and influence people.
PS: Some states have laws about carrying into a person's home. My state requires you tell the homeowner and he has the right to bar CC in his home. Your attitude could cost you your permit as well as cost you your friends.

Belligerent:
•aggressive: characteristic of an enemy or one eager to fight; "aggressive acts against another country"; "a belligerent tone"
•combatant: someone who fights (or is fighting)
•engaged in war; "belligerent (or warring) nations"
I never mentioned being argumentative and acting superior, I said I would tell her "CALMLY" but firmly that that is what I do.
If she does not like it, then she is not one of my friends.
I don't see anything "Low-Road" about that, I see it as standing up for what I believe. If you don't want a gun in your house, are you going to frisk every person who walks through your door?
Are you going to have metal detectors and scanners to scan for small guns in a SmartCarry?

On the side issue of leaving guns in cars
The only plus side to leaving a gun in a vehicle, is that around here most stolen guns end up in pawnshops just across the stateline. (However, with pawnshops now required to report guns received for a NCIC check, they may start staying in criminal circulation.) I hated the idea that I had to leave my gun in my vehicle to go into the convenience store to pay for gas (formerly required by state law if the store sold beer). I felt worse about the idea of the gun being stolen than the car.

Let it go. No big deal.
I wouldn't say that's out of line. I wouldn't joke about people or pets dying.
This, is out of line.

FDF- Your whole attitude is very aggressive (and dismissive). Your "calmly but firmly" comment amounts to"take it or leave it." You come into my home and speak to me in that fashion and your butt hits the sidewalk pronto. Your elitist attitude would not be appreciated in my home.
As for metal detectors at the front door, don't be ridiculous. However, if a homeowner's wishes are known a guest should respect them.
Note that some states require a visitor to inform the property owner if armed and the owner has the right to bar the gun from the property. That's the law and your sarcastic responses don't address this issue.

Saxon pig, I don't see the problem with FDF's logic. If she asked that he leave his gun in the car and then pulled that joke on him he has every right to be ticked. I would do the same thing in his shoes. I would explain why what she did was inappropriate and that I wouldn't be leaving my weapon in the car anymore. If she has a problem with that the he can leave.

You got suckered.
You should've been a little curious why she's not comfortable with your gun in her house but just fine riding in your car with your gun in the glovebox. I personally am more nervous about my guns around people like that than they are about being around my guns. If you know what I mean. I never would've let her go anywhere with my gun.

im thinking the fewest words from SaxonPig (tweaked a bit) wins this thread:
you left your gun in someone else's car and than let them drive off without you in it? unbelievable.

Her response then would be, 'how much should I ask for your gun".?
Only a little, but keep in mind your girlfriend was in on this and if you have anyone to be mad it she's first on the list.

It seems (to me, anyway), that people who are downright AGAINST guns - ANY guns - seem to be not playing with a full-deck when just about anything related to guns comes up or happens.
This original post is a prime example of that. On one hand, the friend's girlfriend is against guns and against the OP from carrying into her home, yet she has the nerve to make a joke about the gun in question possibly being stolen! In my mind, the two don't go together. If she is so anti-gun then there should be no thoughts or actions on her part that would be, in any way, gun-related!
To not want a gun in her home is completely understandable, but then for her to carry it to the extreme of being stolen as an April Fool's Joke is no joking matter, no matter how one looks at it.
How would it have looked if, upon hanging up the phone, the OP called the police and summoned them to the scene! I wonder how that would all play out!
Making a false police report?
Fortunately he was notified in a timely manner that this was a joke. It could have ended a lot differently had the police become involved.

it was a joke, (i'd be po'd too) but so was leaving it in your car
if she doesn't like it in her house, leave with it in your holdster, either way, forgive her and move on, packing of course

April fools in the most juvenile day in existence and should be banned in most cases.

The OP stated that he did not Know that they were taking his girlfriends car and assumed that they were taking his friends. He should have double checked to make sure that they weren't taking the car with his gun in it but the girls should have let him know.

Pretty much what I was thinking!
It's just a joke and pretty funny to me. Its not like they hid your gun from you for a couple hours.
Some of y'all act like they are telling people that their child got kidnapped or something. That would seriously be way over the top.
It's just a inanimate gun and it sounds like the joke didn't even last a minute. Give the girl some credit for coming up with a good joke and stop whining!

Forget the joke, just let it go.
If I were ever told that I wasn't allowed to carry in someones home I would honor their wishes but it would be the last time they would see me walk through their doorway. But hey, that's just me.
As a side note, I would recommend that you get a lock box and secure it by bolting it through the floor in your trunk for situations such as this.

My Girlfriends bday is april 1st so I don't play to many pranks.
"I don't feel comfortable with you carrying" Why/how does she know you were carrying.
I tell very few people I carry but I would have a serious talk with your GF if she told. If you talk about it all the time you need to fix it.
They could have done better than that but chicks are usually bad at pranks.
