Providing criminals with an easy source of weapons since… forever.
Law enforcement officers from two counties are searching for an unmarked police car loaded with weapons, ammunition, riot gear -- and possibly even an emergency light -- that was stolen from outside a Hialeah restaurant early Friday morning. Investigators are warning that the thief may possibly use the vehicle to impersonate a police officer by stopping an unsuspecting motorist.

Must be all that extra training the police get that makes them competent to handle weaponry you and I as mere citizens cannot.
Hat tip Sailorcurt, who I totally agree with when he says
As we gun owners have been saying for years, it is not safe to store weapons in vehicles.
Of course, if we need to purchase stamps or pick up our child's report card from a school, we're required by law to give criminals easier access to our guns.
Showing a gun to a criminal will not make them go away because criminals LIKE guns. The only people who are scared of being shown guns are the people who are law-abiding in the first place!
