I'm aware of the law. I'd likely choose to do what's right and worry about my own ass later.

I would get out and try to deescalate the situation likely, but I am not going to jump out intending to use or even show a gun.

Drive away, call 911, it is insured property. Getting a lawyer for a couple hours is more then my deductible. |

I gotta say, when I read about guns stolen from unlocked cars, I'm assuming they were sold on the black market by the original owner. On the other hand, when I lived in Cleveland the LEOs that I knew were adamant that you never advertise that you have guns because they are such a hot item for thieves (they called those 'protected by S&W' type signs 'rob-me's').

A lot of gun people will use the fire extinguisher analogy, and I think its fitting. Getting a carry permit (where required), is an extension of a hobby, and in CA, having a permit allows me to be less concerned about the letter of the law when transporting firearms to and from the range, or to and from my cabin (the locked container stuff). I have also found that handing a cop your carry permit almost immediately puts them at ease, in this state, if you have that piece of paper they can be pretty certain you are no threat to them. |

Why bother carrying, then, if you're just going to sit there and get your ass kicked? Are you carrying your gun as a loaner, in case the bad guy forgets to bring one?

The police get there after it's all over and interview whoever is left. I will be among them.

We appreciate your smug sanctimony, and we hope you stay safe despite the fact that knife crimes and robberies in your country are rising rapidly and there isn't a damned thing you can (or will) do about it.

If someone with a bat is showing signs of mental illness (hitting a car), and I can simply drive away from the area that is 100% what I am going to do. Obviously, if the situation changes, and I am unable to escape the situation, and the guy is coming through the window...he’s going to have a red dot on his chest. The last thing I ever want to do is have to use a gun on a person, for many reasons, mostly I just want to go home and not visit the courts. |

Why would someone leave a firearm in an unattended vehicle is beyond me and the scary part is a lot of these vehicles are left unlocked.
I believe a firearm should never be left unattended unless its in your safe in your home. However, I would make an exception for lockable reinforced storage like metal strongbox that is bolted into the floor underneath the back seat of a truck. Maybe because I live in Canada, I "don't get it" but if the firearm is not on your person there is no reason it should be anywhere else other than in a safe. |
