You have to be dumb to leave some thing valuable sitting in the open.
A car gun safe hidden under a seat isn't out in the open, but it also wouldn't stop theives who drive off with entire ATM machines.
handguns stored in a car on campus must be concealed anyway.
That's why lots of cars are burglarized on campus, because:
1) Criminals know guns must be stored in cars on campus by CHLs
2) MOST cars on campus contain no gun (most students aren't of age to get a CHL, and many don't know of the MPA)
How many car burglars actually obtain a gun from a campus car burglary?
Very very few, if any at all, because:
See #2 above
2) MOST cars on campus contain no gun (most students aren't of age to get a CHL, and many don't know of the MPA)
However, that's why more and more vehicle burglaries occur.
I go fishing a LOT
I catch very few fish.
People gamble on lottery tickets/slot machines etc a LOT.
Very few people win.
Criminals burglarize cars a lot.
Not many will find a gun.
(Although that's where CHLs are forced to store them, so criminals burglarize vehicles hoping to "win", "catch one")
So, if a student's car gets burglarized, even an anti-gun student, by a criminal who went "shopping/gambling/fishing .... it's the school and government's fault for "stocking the lake",
No one fishes where fish are not found. No one gambles on a scratch off with Zer0 chance of winning.
IMHO, anyone losing ANYTHING from a car burglary, needs to file a claim and get reimbursed by the school. (Assuming they locked the car, hid the items etc)
Another article/same paper ... TCU just settled a RAPE on campus case .... I guess they don't want Immunity provided by SB 354, so schools need to be held liable for all foreseeable acts of failing to protect. Including any and all losses and damages due to "criminals fishing for guns in cars"
