And this was in Texas.....

I participate heavily on another private board that is centred on the profession I am a part of.
A member there started a thread about having two Glock pistols stolen from the center console of his two parked vehicles.

I took the poster to task for leaving guns effectively unsecured in the vehicles. That poster got one of the two pistols back, the other had already been sold on the street by the teenagers who broke in to his vehicles.

Was amazed at the responses, about 4-1 against my position that it is the owners responsibility to properly secure weapons. The center console of a locked vehicle is not secure.

My last post in that thread mentioned there might even be a little blood on the one Glock that was not recovered. If he should ever get it back.

The bad guys don't go to the LGS to buy their guns. The irresponsible owner bears at least some blame should that stolen Glock be used in a crime.

Very few gun folks on that board. Amazed at the responses I got.
