Right here in Calcasieu Parish hundreds of firearms have been stolen from vehicles. And the most common place it happens is right in your own driveway. Unfortunately, many are only recovered once they’ve been used to commit a crime. Always lock your car and keep firearms out of sight. Use a vehicle lockbox to secure your gun.

Better yet, if you can … leave your firearms secured at home.

Otherwise you might lose it to theft and contribute to violent crime in our community.

Remember … If you leave it … lock it.
