Thoughts on leaving loaded guns in the house and car when not occupied

"concerned about exploding boilers and radiators."

Yep, got them too. I wonder if cast iron will crack from heat before the system develops enough pressure to explode? This is a low pressure hot water system I have, not steam.

For some of you, it might also be good to remove all the gasoline from your vehicle's tank before leaving it to go into a store or work. It might be your fault if you were negligent enough to leave your car in an operable fashion and someone steals it and kills someone by running a red light. An option might be to remove the spark plugs when not in use.

Both depend upon many circumstances, so it's not automatically negligent, but could be.

Not negligent at all; I do it all the time. No one but thieves could access it anyway.
