[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 814885, member: 60724"] Bill, Wouldn't raising the hood and putting a piece in the engine compartment raise awareness of having a gun? The point I was trying to make is that one wants to NOT "draw attention" to their vehicle and their "stuff" as much as possible in order to lessen the liklihood that their vehicle and its belongings are targeted. It's the same reason women are told that it is better to stuff their purse under a seat than to put it in a closed trunk or in the back of their vehicle through the liftgate while at the mall. There are people that are watching for those that do just that, and then target such vehicles because they know they are a "ripe target." It is a lot harder to see someone stow a purse or a gun under or behind a seat then it would be for them to put that same object in a trunk, or under their hood. My point was to "not draw attention." Whenever I see a hood go up in a parking lot it piques my interest. I suspect it might pique the interest of someone on the prowel as well. TJR [/QUOTE]
