The Atlanta Police Department reminds you to never leave a firearm unsecured inside a vehicle.
Each year, criminals in Atlanta become armed because citizens continue to leave guns under seats, in glove compartments, or simply left on a floorboard.
Unsecured firearms left in vehicles contribute to violence in our city.
Do your part by being a responsible gun owner and secure your firearm.
