Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary thing gun thieves look for on vehicles?

The primary thing gun thieves look for are bumper stickers that advertise gun ownership, specific firearm brands, or concealed carry status. These stickers act as direct advertisements, signaling to thieves that a firearm might be present in the vehicle.

Why are sporting events and concerts prime targets for car break-ins involving firearms?

Sporting events and concerts are prime targets because firearms are prohibited, leading many attendees to leave them in their cars. The large number of vehicles in parking lots, combined with attendees being inside the venue, creates an opportune environment for thieves.

What are effective ways to secure a firearm in a vehicle?

Effective methods include using a locked glove box, installing a safe in the trunk, and disabling the trunk release mechanism. These measures make it significantly harder for thieves to access and steal a firearm left in a vehicle.

Should I display my concealed carry status on my car?

No, displaying concealed carry status or any gun-related information on your car via bumper stickers is strongly discouraged. It acts as an advertisement to potential thieves, significantly increasing the risk of your vehicle being broken into and your firearm stolen.
