As it turns out, though, it’s also the official guideline of the Memphis PD, at least for officers on duty.

Questions emerge around Memphis police chief's stolen gun
When we first reported on the theft of Memphis Police Chief C.J. Davis’s backup service pistol from a car this past weekend, we noted that Davis had reportedly stored her firearm in a lockbox, but the lockbox itself was stolen out of the car along with a backpack. That led me to recommend a car safe with the option to secure it within the vehicle itself, which I still believe is good advice.

Rules for thee, not for mee!!!
ReplyDeleteHow about not leaving firearms in a vehicle and instead keeping them on your person?
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty much been my practice.
DeleteWait until the gun is used in a crime, see if there is any backlash then. Probably not. Kind of like the Capitol Police that murdered Ashli Babbitt, he left his gun in the can and received no discipline for it. Of course he is member of the protected class. Oh wait, so is Chief Davis.
ReplyDeleteWe’ve had a string of car break-ins in the last few months in my neighborhood. I used to leave my truck gun in the truck, but things have changed here in rural Texas, so nothing gets left in the trucks anymore. Suppose I should have been doing that all along. Just we never had any real crime around here. Times change. Eod1sg Ret
ReplyDeleteI've gotten pretty lax around here. About half the time when I go out in the morning I'll find that I didn't lock my truck up the night before. That's going to bite me in the ass someday - not because of a gun, but shit like a dashcam, GPS, and other assorted things I keep in there.
DeleteWhat dashcam are you using?
DeleteI don't know, I haven't used it in years. It's buried in my console somewhere.
DeleteI bought it for when I was taking Lisa down to the Nashville area for her specialist appointments. Now that she's going to a doctor at a closer location, I just don't feel the need to use it.

Sounds like Danielle Outlaw in Oakland... er, Portland... er, Philadelphia.
DeleteSacramento just hired a new chief. She's White, but it's still Historic!
This sounds like the (female) chief of the UC Berkeley Police, who had her gun, her badge and her tac vest stolen out of her cruiser while she was jogging in Tilden Park. Or the (female) chief of the San Luis Obispo police who left her gun in an SLO restaurant and didn't report it for a week. She quit the department within a year, only to be hired as chief of the Fairfield police at a salary $30,000 higher than she was getting at SLO.
ReplyDeleteLife is good when you're a female chief of police, whether you can hang onto your gun or not.
Here in Ohio, (I think) it's illegal to have any kind of stash box affixed to your vehicle. I think I heard that from one of my paranoid opi runner buds sooo who knows. I do know for sure though, iffin someone wants in your ride, they're gonna get in it somehow. Ohio Guy
ReplyDeleteI think that law probably only applies to covert stash compartments. The gun box I have isn't permanently affixed to my truck, it just has a cable that wraps around a seat strut. It can lay in plain sight on the floorboards when I'm driving, or it can be shoved under a seat if I have to leave the vehicle.
DeleteImagine my surprise to see a member of the sacred race. It will probably turn out she traded the gun for crack
