Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Much like many other things in Canada, it's easier to target the law abiding than it is to confront crooks. Recent Example: The temper tantrum and melt down our Prime Minister had after a shooting by an illegal firearms owner, using an unregistered firearm. He banned the LEGAL transfer of FEDERALLY REGISTERED handguns by LEGALLY Registered firearm owners and REDUCED the mandatory sentences for the criminal use of firearms in the same legislation.

bgavin Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Always. Living in San Diego, we learned to lock all the house doors both when inside, away, or out in the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Duncan Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Visited the daughter in down town Washington D.C. Left my truck bed cap unlocked so someone wouldn’t cause damage just to discover the bed was empty. Daughter told me lock the cap otherwise a homeless person would take up residence.

When are you going to be in the Tampa Bay area? I kinda need a place to stay on my way to Indiana. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punxsutawneypete Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Not just yes but HECK YES! Why make it easy for some car thief or irresponsible kid to take your car? And how would you feel if the thief killed or seriouly injured somebody? Maybe you won't be held legally liable but I can't begin to imagine the anguish you would go through.

Rip Snorter Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 My FIL, who I was not fond of, wired up a system so that his van could not be started without the proper code. This 25 years ago, but he was a Military tech guy. When he passed on unexpectedly, they had to track down his girlfriend to get the car moving. Sounds like a plan.

Sixgun Sheridan Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I lock everything. House, cars, computer, tool bench, work desk, even my Captain America lunch box. Be safe out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Slade Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Force of habit thing, I always lock the car. Parked in my closed garage, I lock the car. During the summer I usually park it in there with the windows down - but always locked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
