I understand you check you car, as do I. Like Jim Noble said, perhaps there’s too much missing still. It’s just a big sore spot for me living in Alberta that I can’t defend myself.
I mean, if I’m hiking or something along those lines, I carry a shotgun or rifle, but even then I can’t carry one of my handguns or carry concealed, it’s just plain stupid.
Fortunately, crime rates in most places are so low, it wouldn't make much of a difference.
