REGARDING:
“This is a serious offense and should have serious punitive consequences including loss of gun privileges and a hefty fine for the owner.”

Please consider:
“…the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

versus
…the right of the people to keep and bear Arms as long as they are kept in an impregnable safe, shall not be infringed.

..the right of the people to keep and bear Arms other than in a car, shall not be infringed.

Many despise the Second Amendment of the Constitution because criminals crazies, and kids hurt themselves and others through the unlawful use of weapons, but saying arms can only be kept a certain way violates the wording.

Understand I am not saying it is wise, but think long and hard about making it illegal. As has been pointed out, this could be applied to kitchen knives. It could also apply to ropes, clubs, hoes, gasoline, lighters, spray bottles, propane bottles… anything which could be misused.

David for the lawful

Escambia County Sheriff’s Dept. has preached and preached about locking your doors. Cars, homes, trailer hitches. commercial equipment and etc. to make it more difficult for a thief to steal it. Thieves won’t spend too much time trying to steal. They go for the more easy to get and go.

NOTE: Something else people don’t realize that will work. Kicking in a door or a crowbar attack would be much harder if you replace the screws in the latch strike plate on your door frame with screws twice as long. (3 to 3 1/2″ wood screws)

People, just lock your cars and lock your doors of your house. And if guns (and cupcakes) were not readily available, we would not be having any of these discussions.

Leaving a gun in a locked or unlocked car while parked at the residence is crazy. Guns should be under supervision of legal gun owner and left in cars is just asking for it to be taken by the low life’s that wait for the opportunity to steal. It’s a rare theft that stops for cupcakes. Smh

Anyone opening another person’s vehicle…or any other property…without permission is committing a severe crime….whether the car is locked or not. However, I agree that people now days should be locking up everything they own as do I, and I never leave a gun inside my car at night….I need it to shoot at the ding-dong that tries to invade my property.

If my knife is stolen out of my car should I be charged if it is used in a crime? Come on now people, stop shifting the burden away from blatant criminals. It’s almost like yall are making an excuse for them to be prowling in the middle of the night with the intent to burglarize vehicles. Whereas the latter just forgot to lock their car.

I had my glock 17 stolen out of my locked vehicle. The car was unlocked in a relay attack where the key fob signal was hacked.
Very hard to prove but some of these in the article could be the case.

Slippery slope indeed. Charging a legal gun owner who has had their firearm stolen and used in a crime. On the other hand,, It is irresponsible leaving your concealed so easily accessible and unattended. If you have an EDC you should consciously make the decision to conceal every morning. Not wake up to notice your vehicular safe is missing. We are making it too easy for those who do not abide.

Firearms need to be kept in a secure location. I don’t keep one on the mantle and I don’t advertise that I even have one. I have a safe for them. I always lock my house also.

I do not condone the criminal activity stated here but really people, this is 2019 not 1950. For goodness sake, lock your cars and houses – especially if you are going to leave a gun in the car! I mean that is just common sense.
