Another attempted gun store burglary

[ChunkyMonkey]

While you guys arguing back and forth, please keep in mind that the last few attempts failed. Gun stores have more to lose than anyone else at this point. ATF and insurance do put a lot of pressure on us.

Guns need to be locked up every night, I agree and ours are. CGC DOES lock their firearms cabinet and display (They are locked nightly and extremely hard to get in). Their gun cabinets and showroom are designed by http://www.dstopeka.com/ They still got hit, because criminals are stupid by nature. Remember Dave's gun? Almost 20 year ago, they drove a suburban through the concrete wall to get behind the vault.

Furthermore, they are 2000s FFL in Colorado alone. You will not see lost/stolen guns from homebased FFL on the news. They do happen.

Finally, per BJS, 600k firearms are stolen annually, mostly from private homes. Why this is important? For those who wants some kind of mandate for gun storage/ security, its a slippery slope. It will not stop at gun stores - it will affect individual owners (see German's law or EU firearm storage directive as an example). Enforcement will means gun owners losing the 4th amendment.

Trust me, most gun store owners are talking to each other to address this issue. Some are more aware than the rest - thats just human nature. But changes are coming to most stores, thats for sure.
