This affects me a lot,,,
I work at a State University,,,
I can't even park my car on campus if a gun is in it,,,
So to protect my job I must park off-campus when I am carrying.
Leaving my gun under the seat or in the glove compartment,,,
That's just not an option for me.
I purchased a lock box which I mounted behind the seat of my pick-up,,,
A determined thief would probably have the box in 5 minutes,,,
But it's better than no security at all, don't you think?
I have a few friends who ignore that law,,,
But they take the chance of being charged with a violation,,,
And losing what I find to be a very desirable employment situation.
Heck, I know people who carry on campus,,,
They cite the "judged by 12 rather than carried by 6" philosophy,,,
I just can't make myself take the chance of losing very lucrative employment.
It's a conundrum that's for sure,,,
But since I have installed a locking steel box,,,
I'm relatively sure I can convince a jury I showed due diligence.
I don't think I will be charged with negligence should my truck be stolen,,,
That was the OP's original concern if I read the article correctly.
