It's called a "carry gun" for a reason.

Throwing "gun stolen from car" into the Google box rarely leaves one empty-handed:
6:58 a.m. — An man reported the theft of a black-and-silver Kel-Tec 9mm pistol and belt-clip holster from an unlocked garage on the 300 block of East Fifth Street. The pistol was taken from a vehicle, which was also unlocked. The estimated value is $300.
I'll just repeat myself here: Don't leave unsecured guns in your unsecured car. And if it's your "carry gun", then why the hell ain't you carrying it? Some dude busts up into your house and you're gonna tell him "Hang on, I have to go out to the driveway and fetch my carry gun"? You keep using that word; I do not think it means what you think it means...
(Also? Dude's pretty optimistic about the value of a used Kel-Tec that seems to spend a goodly portion of its life in a car.)
