A 65 mile one way drive to work as a truck driver led me to leave my pistol locked and out sight in my vehicle when arriving at work. I unloaded and locked my mags in my work locker in a lunch box. My vehicle was under lot cam surveillance.
Rules and laws forced this situation and fortunately everything worked out.
As a rule I think I think it is ill advised but is sometimes necessary.
I try to make sure my vehicle does not display anything that might attract a gun thief. And as always hope for the best.
