ORIGINAL: kdsub Not if the car is not unlocked... knowing the gun is in the car and leaving the car unlocked is irresponsible in my book. To me, this is the crux of the issue. Vagueness is an insidious disease. I just recently re-armed after a decade of not owning any firearms. The other day, my neighbor asked me to help him out with a repair on his boat (My step-dad had a few boats, when I was growing up and when I was allowed to live there, I was the chief care-taker and mechanic). We drove to a local RV place (I thought they did boating, too, but I was wrong). When I pulled up to the front door, there were two very large, very prominent signs proudly proclaiming that there were no firearms allowed in the store. I was in a quandary. I don't have a gun safe in my car. My neighbor has a felony conviction (40 years ago, but still) on his record. I can't just hand him the weapon and roll on into the store. That's a DEFINITE no-no. My trunk? There are some that would call me irresponsible, if I put the weapon in the trunk (with my neighbor, the ex-con, sitting in the car and the engine running). There are some that would call me irresponsible if my neighbor weren't in the car and the keys were in my pocket. I left because I won't do business in places that proclaim: "Hey, scumbags: LOTS of victims here, ripe for the picking!!!" Michael
