Frequently Asked Questions

What are the top 5 mistakes gun owners make that attract thieves?

The top five mistakes include leaving gun safes unbolted, open carrying with low-retention holsters without situational awareness, displaying firearm ownership stickers on vehicles, leaving hunting gear visible in cars, and using 'protected by' stickers on homes.

How can gun owners prevent their safes from being stolen?

Gun owners must ensure their safes are securely bolted to the home's foundation and structural studs. This makes it extremely difficult for thieves to remove the entire safe, deterring theft.

Why is open carrying with a low-retention holster dangerous?

Open carrying with a low-retention holster without constant vigilance makes you an easy target for opportunistic thieves to snatch your firearm directly from your person, especially in crowded environments.

What are the risks of putting gun stickers on your car?

Vehicle stickers advertising firearm ownership act as a beacon for thieves, signaling that guns may be present and vulnerable, particularly at events where firearms are prohibited and cars are left unattended.
