I read on another forum that some assholes drove a stolen vehicle through TJ's Gunsmithing and thoroughly destroyed the place. Can't find anything in a cursory online check. I've had work done by them in the past, no recent than about 4 years ago, and everything always met or exceeded my expectations. The best was rescuing a custom S&W 28-2 snub that needed a lot of work to make right. Anyway, curious if any of you have heard anything. Thanks.

Yup- Unless something occured recently, the event was awhile ago. They only got access to a couple cheap junkers, like Bubba's self-customized .22 single-shot. I spoke to Tim about it the last time I was there right before hunting season.

The libs are on it they are going to pass a law making it illegal to drive a stolen truck into a business! Problem solved it wont happen again.

Just print up some signs:

I think what helped him is that the layout of the parking lot and access road prevented a high-speed vehicle impact.

I miss his old shop in Hoffman Heights. Practically walking distance then. Only been to the "new" location about 3 times since he moved.

Hopefully no serious damage or loss.

Guess I'm showing my age a bit. That has to be about 20 years ago, give or take.
