I did my CCW class there. Sorry to see the fire and I hope they had adequate insurance to rebuild.

In my experience NO business ever has adequate "disaster" insurance.
Any insurance in the firearms business is higher than for other businesses to start with.

I'll be the "explain the joke" guy. Beto O'Rourke actual name is Robert Francis O'Rourke....

If that's the joke, it's pretty obtuse in this situation. Just sayin'.

The joke is that he's been attempting to raise his flagging poll numbers by increasingly ratcheting up his rhetoric with regard to gun control, with the eventual outcome that he's finally snapped and resorted to arson in order to get attention for his failing presidential bid.

Yeah, I guess in my head the progression was a lot funnier and straightforward than it actually turned out to be...

Often the case with me. The inside of my head can be a dark and scary place, with all kinds of Byzantine pathways...

Is a gun store required to keep ammo in any special way in case of a fire? I watched a long video about firefighters and ammunition. Turn out it's not too dangerous but a lot of departments won't go near the fire if the rounds are popping off.

The video was very interesting. One fireman in his gear went right up close to the fire, close enough the use the hose. He said he could feel the bullets hitting him but without being squeezed down a barrel, they don't have much power behind them.

I'd be more concerned if they also sold bulk black powder.

In general ammo is not dangerous in a fire, it responds pretty much like a firecracker, standard fire fighting gear will prevent the fire fighter from receiving any injuries. Stores of powder however are a different thing.
