    Imo, because there are instructions and conditions on leaving a firearm in an unattended vehicle there must have been some anticipation of that.
    Time and location of unattendance would become the issue. What would be reasonable.

    And there is that stupid R word that is so often selectively abused by our courts and bureaucrats. Apparently it is "reasonable" for an LEO to leave firearms overnight in their cars, hence the recent thefts from those cars and no charges for the LEO. But if an ordinary gun owners leaves a gun locked in her vehicle, on her driveway, for 2 hours after getting home, that is "unreasonable" and boom charges.

    ^^ won't disagree.
    Also, define reasonable.
    A truck driver is used to 1000kms a day, 50kms off route is nothing.

    I heard of a case some time ago when someone had some loose shotgun shells in the cupholder of his car and he was charged for that.

    What would they be charged with? Extra points if you can even find the actual file.

    Better not open the trunk of my buddy SUV. Last time I've seen it. A box of 12 ga broke open and they were rolling around in the back for months.

    This might be a case mentioned on the cssa website under "legal" or something like that. Sounds familiar either way

    What if you ran out of gas, or your car broke down and had to be towed? Do you leave you pistol in the truck while you go for gas, or bring it with?

    If it's towed, then leave it in the case, and when the taxi shows up bring it with you in the taxi.
    If you walk for gas, then leave it in the truck.
