I could see a loaded one being harder to steal, but only if it is being held by someone who doesn't want it stolen. Also please explain how a cased firearm is harder to steal. Many cases have "easy carry" handles, and contain multiple firearms. Very convenient to walk away with several in those cases, not?TShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04667036856347626234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-84949082600568420212012-11-30T07:07:47.755+01:002012-11-30T07:07:47.755+01:00Democommie, you make this too easy:

I'm not as familiar with the laws of West Virginia as I am with those of the states where I've lived and carried, but here in Arkansas, we even allow a loaded handgun in a vehicle without a license if the person is on a peaceable journey.<br /><br />2. Did I say that I leave my doors unlocked? I said that it is the right of the owner to do so. I choose to lock my doors because that makes sense to me. I'll go so far as to say that leaving doors unlocked is a bad idea. But in no way is the owner morally responsible for the actions of a thief.<br /><br />Next time you comment, why not try thinking? It'll hurt after so long not doing it, but the rewards are many.Greg Camphttp://gregorycamp.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-51699694929114119522012-11-29T22:53:44.786+01:002012-11-29T22:53:44.786+01:00DC - where in the report does it say the stolen we...DC - where in the report does it say the stolen weapons were loaded or not in a case/taken apart while stored in the cars?Jimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-15911994922380949282012-11-29T22:29:37.123+01:002012-11-29T22:29:37.123+01:00This:

In addition, firearms must be cased or taken apart<br />during the evening and night hours. (http://www.mycal.net/Group42/weapons/laws/wv.htm)<br /><br />would indicate that there are laws on the book making it illegal to leave a loaded firearm in an auto at any time or an assembled vehicle not in its case during the evening ar at night.<br /><br />The conclusion which a reasonable person might come to is that either the neighborhood sees a lot of theft during daylight hours OR the people who owned the firearms might have been, "breakin' the law, breakin' the law!" in having their weapons loaded during the day or uncased/assembled in the evening or at night. I know this concept is very, very difficult for the OLGO's of Greg Camp's vast circle of fellow gunzloonz but, unortunately, lotsa folks don't really follow the law when it's cumbersome.<br /><br />"Because the property belongs to the good citizen. Not securing it may be financially harmful to that person, but it's still the choice of the owner. You want to take away choice.".<br /><br />So, that means that you don't believe in securing your home and other property? I mean, we know how you feel about the people who would steal your shit--as far as you're concerned they deserve to die if they attempt to do so. So why bother locking shit up, if you can just shoot the perp. It's like baiting deer, but wtf, your friends will never know how you got the trophy.democommiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714733977927594559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-71289139590811943732012-11-29T19:13:12.661+01:002012-11-29T19:13:12.661+01:00mikeb - theft of anything of value is a source of ...mikeb - theft of anything of value is a source of financing the purchase of guns by criminals.
