BP, we aren't making the victims the bad guys. We are pointing out piss poor policy. You don't leave automatic weapons, shotguns etc, in your patrol car overnight.

saraland had the tactical squads suv stole while they were eating with everything but their side arms in it.dont you that was an oh sh@$ moment.

No one ever said there was any policy that allowed it either, nor did I say I agreed with it. Just passing on what I was told regarding the Mobile PD. If the Gadsden PD has a policy against leaving guns in vehicles, they should be held accountable.

However, I don't think such a policy is necessary since staling is already illegal. I leave gubberment owned valuables in gubberment owned vehicles all the time.

Your to busy trying to sound good and not looking at the big picture. If you can't see it, there is no need in explaining it to you.

Yep.

We're currently trying to get the truth out of Eric Holder for the same thing but on a much larger scale

What would you suggest the criminal charge be?

Hell to the yeah on that!

I could not sleep knowing one of my firearms were left in my vehicle. Just the possibility of someone using it in a crime scares me. Some of the weapons they referenced that were stolen really scares me in the wrong hands. Just keep it with you where it is handy i say.

Everything BP said. My sentiments exactly. Carry on

yep

Same reason the cops need them ... to carelessly spray hundreds of rounds capable of shooting through houses and cars with complete disregard for life & property.
With rare exception, when a one shot one kill sniper is required, about 99% of common street criminals can be neutralized with a .45 and a 12 gauge.

Yep

The most common round as far as rifle is 223. When it comes to houses,sheetrock,etc. it penetrates less then the standard LEO handgun or slugs.

Some type of criminal negligence charge similar to what a parent would get if they left a loaded firearm in the reach of a child and the child shot himself or someone else. Firearm ownership comes with responsibility. All mine are locked up in a safe to prevent criminals from not only stealing them from me but using them in a crime.

How do you hit them with your 45 or 12 gauge when they are 50 yards away? I am not talking about a sniper situation you mentioned.

Also, I can do more damage with my 12 gauge then I can with my AR15. Each 12 gauge 00 buckshot contains 9-12 30 caliber pellets. My AR only fires 1 22 caliber bullet with each pull of the trigger. Your argument for the semiauto rifle having more fire power than a shotgun is weak at best.

Really? So they are criminals for getting jacked by a thief. Your a joke!

Failure to properly secure a weapon is not a joke.

Not all are kept loaded as far as chamber. Most are cruiser ready and locked in steel holders that are accessible with keys or electronic switches. If one is gonna hold them liable for a gun left in their car then the same could be said for anyone hunting that stops at a gas station to get gas or eat and leaves their firearm in the truck.

Could take it a step further if a policy is implemented and say that any officer on any call that doesn't take all is weapons out of his car on every call is liable or criminally negligent.
