[9dayall]

is it completely legal to leave your firearm in your car at all times, chamber unloaded? i only take it to the shooting range. just wondering if i can just leave it in my car. thanks! - newbie

Yes, you can leave a firearm in your vehicle. You aren't allowed to have a round chambered in a long gun (i.e. rifle or shotgun).

Ya You can leave em in the car if You want, Handguns chamber can be loaded, Long guns should not be loaded IDK why other than the rules about hunting in the state of Co. But I advise against it I live in Lakewood and had a $3,000 dollar Ar snatched in broad daylight, Just smashed the window and took off and Nobody saw anything? My neighbor is denver PD and I live in an "upper class" neighborhood. Just go's to show that someone is always watching You! So I will not leave anything in mine any more.

I would not recommend leaving one in there at all times, though you can. Take it out when you get home, or risk having it not be there. Is a 200$-2000+$ investment worth just leaving in your car?

I seen and heard about more guns stolen from vehicles than any other way. Leaving a gun in your car is like giving it away, but with more broken glass involved. If I can't see my vehicle from a window at all times, I don't leave a gun in it, period. The only way I would recommend this is if you have a lock box bolted/welded into the cab and the gun remains in it.

Ya it was, I had it under the back seat which folded down and completely Conceales everything underneath it and it cannot be seen. So someone was watching either at the range and followed me home or in the neighborhood and knew excatly where to look for it to make a very very fast snatch. I said snatch

Yep, and now your rifle is in Mexico killing babies by now. They need to close the "Back Seat" Loophole!

Am I missing a Joke?

[Irving]

Yes you are.

Dummy gun grabbers are under the impression that all the guns in Mexico come from the United States because of the "Gun Show" loophole (which isn't a loop hole at all).

I don't really think your rifle is in Mexico killing babies that get caught between drug cartels.
