The 42-year-old man, who could not be reached immediately by the Sun-Times, was shot once in the left leg and was taken to Stroger Hospital where he was in good condition, officials said.
No joke, heard a story of a guy that had a gun stolen from is car. Lamenting it because it was a expensive piece with modifications to is appearance that he liked. When asked what happened, he left it on the fucking dashboard in plain view. Didn’t even attempt to hide it at the least. Just out there for all to see. I like firearms as a preface, I think they’re neat and do serve some purposes but, the careless and frivolous nature of how we consider them in the USA is one of the reasons gun violence is so high.
On the bright side, if your car ever gets stolen, cops will be really invested in finding it if you tell them your gun was under the seat. Cops generally don’t care about stolen vehicles. They tend to take an “eh, it’s probably already in a chop shop” approach. But if you tell them your gun was in the car, they’re suddenly a lot more invested in finding it.
guns aren’t common glovebox item in most places
America is a shithole full of assholes and bullet holes
its either strapped thier waist or on the dash.
Guns skittering across the dash like m&ms looking for the air vent

Of course, because they can recover the vehicle and say they didn’t find any firearms as they take them for themselves.
