Frequently Asked Questions

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

The top 5 mistakes include improper gun safe storage (not bolting safes), open carrying without situational awareness, displaying gun stickers on cars, leaving hunting gear visible in vehicles, and using stickers on homes to advertise firearm ownership.

How can I prevent my gun safe from being stolen?

To prevent your gun safe from being stolen, it must be securely bolted to the foundation and structural studs of your house. This makes it extremely difficult for thieves to remove the entire safe.

Why should I remove gun-related stickers from my car?

Gun-related stickers on your car act as an advertisement to thieves, signaling that you likely own firearms. This makes your vehicle a prime target for break-ins, especially when parked at public venues.

What is the best way to store firearms when I can't carry them into a venue?

When you cannot carry your firearm, the safest method is to store it in a vehicle safe, preferably in the trunk. Ensure the trunk release is also secured to add an extra layer of protection against theft.
