From where I sit, if you own a weapon, you are responsible for it. There is NO excuse for losing it. If you stuff a pistol under your car seats, then you KNOW that you're taking the risk that it will disappear. That risk is unacceptable. Buy an automotive gun safe or don't carry the gun around.
I know I know "gee, I don't have the money to do that or I don't want to drill holes in my car etc etc etc" excuses excuses. If you buy a car you're expected to buy tires so it won't lose control and veer into other cars. If you buy a dog, you're expected to buy it food. If you buy a gun, you're expected to buy whatever it takes to make sure that the weapon does not fall into the wrong hands. If you only keep the gun at home, then you don't need a car safe. If you carry it around, you need a car safe, AND you need to take steps to make sure the car itself is not stolen. If you can't handle that level of responsibility, you can't handle owning a gun.
Excercise your supposed right to bear arms all you want, but do it responsibly so I don't get my ass shot off with your stolen gun.
