3. If you are going to leave a handgun unattended in a vehicle

Then it should be in a locked container secured to the vehicle. It certainly should not be left unsecured in plain sight.

I'm not a fan of home storage laws for several reasons. One, I don't think they are enforceable because the police don't get to search your home to ensure secure weapon storage. Two, I think they are redundant and will almost never be enforced. Prosecutors can already charge parents with negligent child endangerment if a child obtains an unsecured gun and shoots himself or someone else but almost never do because of the (presumed) emotional trauma the parent is undergoing as a result of the shooting.
