550 guns stolen out of unattended vehicles in Colorado last year, new law hopes to reduce that (www.cbsnews.com)

You know what would keep this from happening?

Stop forcing people to leave their gun in their car when they go into a store or to a public space.

From the post:

>Denver police want to remind everyone to never leave handguns inside their vehicles unattended. Not only is this dangerous, but illegal. State House Bill 24-1348 took effect on Jan. 1. This bill prohibits knowingly leaving a handgun in an unattended vehicle unless the handgun is stored in a locked hard-sided container that is not left in plain view or that is in the locked trunk of a vehicle. A firearm that is not a handgun must be stored in a locked vehicle in a locked soft-sided or locked hard-sided container that is out of view. If the firearm is in a soft-sided container, a locking device must be affixed to the gun.

No kidding right? Make it illegal to have your gun unattended in the car but make it illegal to take with you anywhere.

Fuck that shit. Just a sudo gun ban. These fucks should be in jail for infringing on our 2A.

The best plan is never having a weapon in your vehicle.

Yeah. That is the "best" idea? But that is the point. They want to put charges on the gun owner if they lose their gun and I doubt guns that are stolen out of car are left on the seat. Sooner or later it will expand to regardless of how secure the gun is, the owner will still be charged for it's theft. Step 1 of incremental.
