Easy #2
How many cars get ripped off or broken into parked at the airport? How many times does an event occur while driving down the highway on the way to a vacation? About a 10,000 to one ratio, I'll play those odds. |

What about using one of the storage lockers they have at the airports? They are outside the secure areas so you could carry the pistol in to that point and lock it away. That would be alot more secure than leaving it in the car.

I think Paul called this one right. However I have carried to the airport before->I cable locked the revolver to part of the car sort of behind the carpet in the trunk. Basically you would have to steal the entire car to get the pistol; although I still would not want to explain having left my revolver in the car. Hopefully a prospective car thief would look at the odometer before deciding to steal my car[:)]
I'm not sure there are storage lockers available at airports anymore. I asked to use one (nothing to do with guns) and was told there weren't any. Would seem like a good place to leave a bomb if they did have them. |

Yes, Paul, but it's not just the odds, it's the stakes. A stolen gun ($500) on top of a stolen car ($10000) is a pretty negligible loss. You and your family dying because you weren't armed, however, is as bad as it gets. That's why it's a subjective choice.
People play the super lotto for the same reason. The odds of winning are essentially zero, but the stakes are [b]high[/b].

Bring your least expensive, easiest to replace gun and lock it in your car at the airport. That way you still have the means to protect yourself during the drive, but minimize your losses if it gets stolen.
