30. Whats the problem with a gun in your car at work?

Dec 2012

I had a gun in my car this week. The reason is simple. The shooting range is 5 minutes from work, or 30 minutes from home. If I want to go shooting after work, its a lot easier to drive 5 minutes, then go home, pick up a gun, then drive back, which would take 1 hour.
