Re: Gun in the truck/car?
I agree except on last line.. when mine comes off my body it is either in the gun safe or super secret hidden hiding spot
My wife wanted a CCW bag, either a purse or backpack.. kept telling her if it's not on your BODY then it should be secured.. well long story short went shopping at Wegmans and we got hungry. went to the "eat in" area and stuffed the guts. Return to shopping and some young kid comes running through the store "Lady lady lady, you left your purse on your chair!" and returns the purse.. she verifies all is present and I give the kid a monetary rewards.. as soon as we are not in earshot of anyone "So a CCW Purse, and how would you feel if you had a pistol in there now, better yet if the finder walked out with your purse and firearm?" Since then she agrees with "On your person or secure"
For the rare times I am out and need to secure it, I have small gunsafes in both vehicles and a safety locking cable in the hard saddle bag of the bike.. don't really know what I would do if I were to ride the wife's Harley as is only has soft bags.. hmmmRetired US Army

Re: Gun in the truck/car?
The general public has no idea that I carry a firearm, or that I have any in my home. I don't advertise with my method of carry, my vehicle, etc. during my daily routines. I prefer to be a chameleon and blend in. I also drive pretty average vehicles that potential robbers would just try the door handle and move on when they find the door locked. So on occasion, I do leave a handgun hidden in my vehicle for short periods of time, like going into the PO (I park on the street).
I do agree that always having a firearm in a vehicle might be an issue, and that all depends on the area and circumstances. Contrast my situation with a lifted 4x4 truck that has gun and zombie apocalypse stickers all over it parked on Broad Street in Philly at 3AM.

possibility of being stolen...left in truck in summer, 148 degrees.....left in truck in winter, -3 degrees. and, this still seems like a good idea, how, exactly?

Re: Gun in the truck/car?
Unfortunately I have had the need to lock my CCW in my vehicle while taking my wife for doctor visits and treatments in Philly...
My preference is not to do this, but the hospital has a no firearm policy and due to the health issues I need to take my wife to this hospital, the alternative would not be good.
Most of the time, I elect to go in with no CCW, but there are other times like the night we had to drive through North Philly between 1-2AM because the NE Turnpike was shutdown and my wife was wheel chair bound, mentally was close to giving up, and I just needed to get her home to keep her going...
The choices are not always simple or easy, hopefully nobody else here has to or has had to face a situation like that.

IMHO having or keeping a gun in ones car is not a black and white thing. What's not appropriate for one person may be appropriate for another.
