I would be mounting unnecessarily large firearms inside of my equally unnecessarily large truck, with a rear window sticker that says "Come And Take It"

In my country, burglars usually leave gun safes alone, as the police would throw everything after them if they stole those. And woe to those gun owners who leave their stuff unsecured. For some reasons, there are not that many illegal guns around here, and "the toddler shot his mother with a gun lying unsecured in the living room" type of stories are something we only know from American news. I wonder why...
