Who asked for sympathy?
If some thug comes up to carjack you, your screwed!
I imagine the safe is just for when he is away from the vehicle.
I never cited any statistics. Statistics are for lawyers. Data is for people who took that thing with numbers.... um, mathematics I think they call it. Data on stolen guns prove that they are taken more easily and often when they are unsecured.
I don't think anyone is advocating leaving their weapon in the safe while they are in the vehicle. I for one certainly would not. That's akin to keeping your gun in the car but not having it loaded. Unless you plan to throw it at someone, what purpose would that serve?
I agree with securing against theft when the car is not occupied. I have my means...but it would only work if you had the same car as mine.
Thanks! My sub-par intellect was having trouble distinguishing the difference between 'data' and 'statistics'.
Raw data is what it is. Statistics is what can be derived from that data, and, as we are all well aware, statistics can be manipulated to make gun owners who don't secure their guns look much larger than the vast majority of gun owners who have never had a gun stolen. I don't quote "statistics" for that very reason. Statistics never take into account all the possible variables, which is why they are wholly theoretical and not scientifically factual. Statistics are used to predict possibilities. Data put us on the moon. Oh, crap, that's probably not the best example with this bunch.
