Half of all firearms stolen in America came from a parked vehicle, but attempts to keep the trend from growing further are meeting resistance
As the culture war around firearms has intensified, a subset of gun owners has taken to putting bumper stickers on their vehicles emblazoned with the message Come and take them. To some thieves, that's less of a defiant provocation than it is an open invitation. That's because over the last decade, parked vehicles, especially those that have bumper stickers with pro-gun messages on them, have become increasingly targeted by thieves.
Fearing a culture war, there is bipartisan support for rules that would require owners to store their guns in locked compartments when they park their vehicles. In Tennessee, a pair of bills seek to outlaw the practice of leaving a firearm in a vehicle unless it is locked within the trunk, utility or glove box, or a locked container securely affixed, with violators required to attend a gun safety course. But the National Rifle Association and other advocates object to these measures.
