Do ( D )s sell more guns than ( R )s?

And, of course, having a gun in the car implies that one sees a need for a gun in the car.

Car windows are easy to break, a gun safe in the home bolted to the floor or wall would be a better option. I'd say in transport if you have to, you should never leave it alone and keep it locked up even in the car.

There are videos online showing how to beat at least one major brand of gun safes (with fingerprint ID system) with the foil from a stick of gum. Guns in the home are never safe.

Ultimately no they are not. Like I said in a prior post, it is far more likely that one is going go get injured or injure, or die or harm someone else in the home by accident than successfully defending oneself from a complete stranger. But having said that, I am not delusional, I know there will never be a perfect world where nobody wants firearms. But at a minimum people need to take them seriously, and also live up to what they say in keeping them out of the wrong hands.

That's a very popular meme. But it is almost certainly not true. In most situations where an aggressor was stopped by a gun, the incident was never reported. An aggressor almost always retreats when confronted with a gun, and that's the end of the incident. No one bothers to report it.  I had 8 young men attempt to assault me in Portland OR while I was waiting for a bus at 1 AM. They were gay bashers. They were like, "You're going to die, faggot". I am not a gay man, but they thought that I was. They surrounded me and I pulled out my gun. They mouthed off for awhile, and then went away. I didn't fire a shot. They never landed a blow. There wasn't much to report. If I did report it, the cops might look for a reason to hassle me. But I probably would have had the crap stomped out of me that night if I hadn't had a gun. I might have been killed. Guns resolve situations frequently, and those situations don't get reported.

If it's never reported how do you know "In most situations"?

LOL. One of them behind you and you're shitting bullets for a week. I don't really believe your story.

Yeah, for several years I waited for a bus at 1 AM in a seedier part of the city almost every night, and that shit never got weird a single time. Packs of rowdy young men rarely trouble anyone in seedy parts of the city at 1 AM. As a transgendered person, people totally respected me while I was waiting for the bus at 1 AM, and no one ever, ever did anything that might have made me feel the need to defend myself. You totally got me, dude.

Yep, and I still don't believe your story.

Seven.

I never understood truck guns.  Most states have laws against hunting from your car on the roadside, and all the vibration and bumping would fuck up a nice rifle anyway.  Besides, who wants a gun in the car when you get pulled over? That shit makes Barney nervous.
