This is an interesting one. The tl;dr is that if you park your vehicle on public property or along a roadway, unattended, and leave a firearm visible, then your car can be towed and you can face a $500 civil penalty. The reasoning is that in the past 5 years in Richmond there has been an increase of three-fold the number of firearms stolen from vehicles.
I am curious to hear some thoughts.
