They don't have boating accidents in Nashville?

Maybe if you could actually carry it somewhere in Nashville this wouldn't happen. I was down there in February and every building I saw had a sticker on the door that said no firearms. I know concealed means most likely nobody would know but I'm guessing nobody wants to risk getting caught.

Side note in that article: this is bullshit -
According to a ruling from the Tennessee Court of Appeals, anyone who leaves their keys in their vehicles can be held responsible for a car thief’s crash. This applies to keys left in the ignition, front seat or on the dashboard in plain view.

Theft is taking something that's not yours. Doesn't matter if someone leaves keys in the car or not. If it's not yours don't take it. The only person responsible for stealing a car is the theif.

Oddly enough, many of these sske firearm end up on NYC streets and others with restrictive laws, transported here for sale on the black market. Creating laws restricting law abiding citizens creates marketplaces for criminals. Another reason to abide by a 2nd amendment.

That's the liberal mind at work

That's the way it will be if the left takes over this country. They call these riots protests and say it's ok. The liberal run cities tell the police to stand down and let people destroy other peoples property.. They prosecute people for defending themselves against criminals.

You quoted post #5 and my response to post #5

My idea is personal responsibility for crime is being pushed onto the victims by the progressive communist demonrats.

I think you misunderstood the intent of my response. I certainly believe anyone stealing should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. This action is no different. Or any action against the law , period ( albeit some laws leave a lot to be desired). Obviously he/she is a criminal and needs to pay thier debt to society. I'm far from a liberal, to the extent that it impacts family immensely. Political discussions are forbidden due to my conservative stance, it leads to many an unhappy family gathering if approached.

Now onto what the intended meaning of the post I wrote. When any government creates a law forbidding the possession of any object, guns in this specific example, all they do is create an underground market for that specific item. In states with highly restrictive gun laws, you, by essence of said law, create a demand for guns. Opportunistic criminals will exploit the void, as any entrepreneurial profit driven marketplace will recognize, and that void with be filled, albeit illegally. So may examples exist- Guns, drugs, formerly alcohol. The list goes on ad astray. Even if slightly encroached upon, yet still legal, a marketplace is created ( EX- machine guns). Since Reagan passed the law ending the creation of machine guns for consumer purchase in 1986 30+ year old machine guns are regularly sold for tens of thousands of dollars due to thier rarity. This is the point I was trying to make. Simply adhere to the constitution and allowing the 2A to stand for itself without interference would reduce the theft if these items, as a free market would exist and demand would be quelled.

Not liberal at all, just simple economics.

Partially caused by their gun laws. Almost any adult can have a handgun in the car. It cannot be carried or concealed, therefore out in sight for the criminals to grab.
