How do these guns get stolen?

Edit: Forgot this was still around from a year ago since I haven't been on here much. Sucks to see some new guns getting posted on here by different members every couple of months. Keeping the thread around so people can keep discussing it if they want, and some of the original content and opinions are floating around below as well.

Good to see the discussion. I removed some of the original content because it was a bit short sighted and you guys have done a good job at changing my opinion around a bit about securing firearms on/in your property. Carry on, MGO.

Why do adults need to keep their guns put away in a safe? Every time they leave the house they need to put them in the safe? I have kids so mine are out or reach and yes, in the safe. But for the most part, if you don't have kids running through your home. You can keep them out in the open. It's against the law to B&E, so the contents of what they take isn't the point, they are breaking the law the moment they breach the property.

How do Rolex's get stolen? PS4's, Laptops..........

Yeah I don't get why you wouldn't feel bad for someone who's property was broken into and stolen. Sounds alot like sympathizing with criminals. I mean I guess they gotta buy clothes and shoes for school and all but burglary is kinda illegal.

I have no kids, and my wife and I host very few visitors. most of the visitors we have are familiar with guns and wouldn't mess with them even if they found them. when untrained kids show up, things get put away.
I have a few that live outside of the safe because there's no reason for me to not have a few guns "in use". can't unload/make safe/lock all of them up every time i go out on a milk and bread run.

Your PS4 won't be used in a crime (unless you consider selling stolen property) or kill someone on the street if it gets stolen...there's a reason you have to be more responsible with a firearm than a PlayStation. There's a reason you have a background check for a firearm, but not a PS4.

Saying I sympathize with criminals is quite a far stretch. I'm just saying that the easier you make it for a criminal to steal a gun, the less bad I feel for you leaving it in a position where it could be stolen. It sucks for anyone who gets their property stolen, and I hate thieves. I just don't find it that hard to lock up the guns every time I leave the house. It takes less than 5 minutes to put them in the safe and lock it up.

If someone was to do a home invasion, there's no chance in heck I'm gonna make it to the safe in time to get one out. You may be thinking a young/healthy 20 year old running to the safe, what about Grandma/Grandpa who have bad knees and it takes 2-3 minutes to get up out of a chair. Your giving the criminals too much undeserved credit/sympathy here. Guns are bad, cars are bad in the wrong hands, knives are bad...........

Your clueless.
you wear your sidearm on you at all times and you take it seriously who’s being responsible.
You don’t buckle your seat belt when you know an accidents about to happen you buckle it before you drive so in the event of an accident it’s on and prepared to do its job, same with a sidearm.
You need to learn to take firearm ownership seriously and be responsible with them, your prior posts in this thread lead me to believe your neither.

Do you still lose your CPL if your gun is stolen from your vehicle?

About 15 years ago two buddies lost their CPL permits after their handguns were stolen out of their cars.

I think it is wise to have a gun handy for use if needed in your home. I don't think anyone denies that. My problem is leaving a bunch of guns, or all of your guns out. Yes safes works if bolted down. Why would you not invest in a good safe to keep your valuables in? Cash, stocks, baseball cards, jewelry should all be locked away. The guys saying how easy a safe is to get into have been watching the internet too much. Most thefts occur during the day. Most criminals are in the home less than 10 mins. They rarely go after safes unless they can carry it out. Most criminals will tip your safe over if they find it just to destroy the contents. A safe is a great investment. Please forward any media reports of safes getting cracked. Their are some to be sure, but they are a miniscule part of the total home invasions. Most safe jobs are inside jobs where they know someone has a hoard of cash or other valuables and they have time to work on the safe, Very Very rare.

It should read 'you're neither', not your neither. (sorry, devil makes me do stuff like this)
