Transporting guns while travelling
Whenever I go away on vacation, I have to pay attention to the States that we are crossing into because some of the States are not CCW friendly at all. As a matter of fact, I’d be a criminal and get thrown in jail if I carried a gun in some States. Every once in awhile I hear about a story about someone that crossed into a State with unloaded firearms and ran into a bad cop and ended up not knowing how to deal with the person and got into problems. One way to avoid the situation is to keep your guns out of sight, avoid getting yourself into a situation where it’s obvious that you have a car load of firearms.
Another thing to think about is actually putting small gun safes like the Gunvault gun safes inside your car for added security. There were a few major incidences in recent years of gun owners getting their cars broken into in and around gun shows because criminals would wait for them to stop and go into a restaurant or food store and then make their smash and grab. A gun show vendor actually lost several thousand dollars of firearms because of something like this. Conceal you firearm when you are carrying and conceal and lock up your guns when travelling.
After Sept 11th and the Hurrican Katrina News cyles, many people have opened their eyes to the fact that their is evil in our generation and that any one of us could face it in our home or our way to work. There have been a lot of people opening their eyese to gun owner ship. I can’t tell you the times I’ve heard women say that they “will never allow a gun in their house” and how that mindset has been disapating ever since the Hurrican Katrina havoc. I had a liberal female friend who was willing to atleast come to a range with me say that “just the existance of a firearm in a home is a deterant, you don’t even have to fire it to prevent bad people from coming onto your property. Although bad people come in different flavors, most of them will skip your house if you spray paint a warning on your front door informing looters that you will shoot them if they come near you.
There has been a major shift in the attitudes of a lot of gun owners. I remember the days when gun owners would never want to have to think about locking their handgun in a safe, especially if it was their bedside pistol. Back in the day, we all had Grandfathers that kept guns laying around, but the stats show that accidents happen and kids will find them if they are not locked up. If you don’t have kids around this is a none issue, but if you do, you may want to do some thinking.
They can also be used for safekeeping of our money, jewelries and important documents. Unintentional gun injuries to our loved ones inside the house can be surely prevented when the weapons are kept securely inside the safes. These fire-proof vaults also protect the valuable things stored in the safe from being destroyed by the blaze due to fire or arson.
