HB 1233 - Illegal to store firearms or ammunition in a vehcile or boat if not locked away

[NoBanStan]

So, obviously its complete and utter BS that you would get punished for someone breaking into your property... that's absurd.

However.. I did hear the news report that something like 167 firearms were stolen from cars in Nashville in January. ONE FLIPPIN MONTH!

So while I don't agree with it IN THE SLIGHTEST, I do kinda see WHY they would create a bill like this. Maybe assuming that the law abiding folks will do as they are told and, by proxy,  not arm the criminal goon squad.

However again... that's like making a woman wear a burka because, she might accidentally tempt a man.

So we're back at "screw this bill".

BigK,

Why?  They cut the cable and stole the entire lockbox rather than taking the time to pry it open at the vehicle.

Note to self: I do have a lockbox in the car.  It's a good idea to take a picture of it cabled in place to prove it's existence should the car ever get broken into and a firearm stolen.

DOH! Wish I'd thought of that...way smarter than all the hassle
