How often do you travel with a firearm? Whether you're going to the range, heading to your hunting spot or carrying a firearm on your person, you may need to leave it in a vehicle. Watch the short video, Safe Gun Storage in a Vehicle for tips to keep your firearm from falling into the wrong hands.

According to recent findings, a firearm is stolen from a car every 9 minutes on average in the United States. This is triple the rate that it was just 10 years ago. Most of these firearm thefts occur from cars parked at residences.

Make sure you take the proper steps to prevent theft of a firearm from a vehicle.
