Not sure about the NRA part - and there are other insurance companies out there, including your vehicle's insurance will cover stolen firearms.

Not worth the risk. The odds of a negligent discharge unholstering and clearing while seated in your vehicle (where you then risk shooting your junk or your leg or thru the fuel lines) plus having some yahoo call the police because to them part of a gun is like a full gun exponentially outweighs the risk of theft.

The downside to the above is obvious and not good. The downside to theft is you make a call to report it stolen and perhaps answer a few questions with ATF agent, then file insurance claim and get a new gun. If you are like the rest of us, you have plenty more to carry.

Just my two cents, and not legal advice. Hope it helps ...
