question about road trip to wichita, kansas

[DEAGLER]

I have not gotten my carry on permit yet but i plan to later on this year. I usually leave my hand gun in my car without taking it out cause i usually go to the gun range once in a while. my question is, is it legal for me to leave it in my car to kansas? i read their gun laws and it seems to be almost the same as ours. thanks!

If their law permits it, yes. Just read the state statutes and wichita county ordinances...

In three days, I've heard this comment over six times. How common is this for people? My weapon is either on my person or in the safe. Do a lot of people "leave it in the car"? Don't you worry about people breaking into your car, etc?

[DEAGLER]

actually no, i'm not scared. my car is usually either at work with me or in my garage. i rarely take my car else where.

You're more confident than I am my friend.

people who don't have CCWs don't have the luxury of keeping it "on their person" all the time.

Keeping it in your car is the next best thing.

there are a number of safe storage solutions for your car.

Ah, touche. I wasn't even thinking about that...

I used to have to throw my gun into the glove box every once in a while, but I would never leave it in my car if I didn't have to, certainly not over night. If I parked in a garage every night I might though (well, that's also assuming I had a lot more guns).

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Leaving a gun in your car is one step away from giving it away. The one step involves broken glass. I'm guilty of it too, but I avoid it like the plague if at all possible.

[Irving]

I throw it in the glove box and lock the box. I know that isn't any real protection, but most times I've had to leave a gun behind, the car is some where busy where someone doing a snatch and grab isn't going to have the time to crow bar my dash apart.

Well, that's what I tell myself anyway.
