And the only thing I have to add is....When you leave the range, take those guns HOME and store them. No matter how inconvenient it may be, It's better then if those two guys had just been lookouts while their buddy who followed you from the range broke into your expedition and stole those 6 pistols!
We usually go straight home after the range but as noted in my OP, we remembered that hubby needed new work pants for the next day. "What if"s aside, I'm not going to go 15 miles out of my way for no reason, just to get my guns at home before I go out somewhere. It's not just cars that are broken in to - homes are targets, too. If it's going to happen, it's going to happen. I'd hate to see my guns end up in a criminal's hands but IMO they're no safer at home than they are in my car. The safest place is on my hip, but I'm not 21 yet so that is a moot point as well. Not to mention hiding 6 guns on this tiny frame is near impossible unless I want to trudge around in a trenchcoat all year.
Yeah, my husband thinks I'm kind of paranoid, but I just cannot leave the guns in the vehicle. If we have to make a stop on the way home from the range, one of us goes into the store and one of us stays with the guns. If we travel to the range that's 60 miles from us and stop to eat on the way home, we only stop to eat where we can see the truck at all times. Our truck got broken into right after we got it, so I just can't get over the preparanoia about it.
But you are so right...if someone wants what you have, they're going to try and take it.
