Re: Store firearms IN vehicles while parked at work!

I may be wrong but, that thread is largely based on the OP creating a roll call of members contacting their representatives.

This thread, at least by the OP's title, is opening the issue for general discussion.
So, as far as that goes, I'd like to know the specifics should a vehicle be broken into and the firearm stolen.

First of all, I want to state that I hope this bill passes.
But, recently where I work, there was a rash of vehicle break-ins in the parking lot. There seems to be a lot of isolated areas where this could occur, and I would imagine that there are a lot of companies with this same problem.

With the new law, the business would not have to provide any additional security and would not be liable for the theft. With the bad economy, crime is on the rise and we can't guard our vehicles all the time and there is no stipulation about safeguarding the gun other than locking the vehicle. So, the gunowner need do nothing else other than store it in their glovebox, console or under the seat. Obviously, it's better to have something that locks and secures to the vehicle, but we all know that not everyone is going to do that.

Does anyone anticipate any problems with this if the new law is passed?
