I'm in this place all the time, they're good people. This is a shame.

Not sure why more gun shops don't get concrete filled steel ballard posts installed in the front & back of the stores to prevent this type of robbery.

Yea, they seem to have left their stock on the shelf too. That seems like a big fail to me.

It'll cover the smash & grab but there have been instances where the steel gates at the doors were *pulled* off.

...and technically they were the victims of a burglary not a robbery.

I had BFR's (more like 4500 lb boulders, really) laid out 2 feet apart in front of my store, an alarm system, steel doors and bars on the windows and put the guns in safes at night. I was still worried someone would break in.

This has got to be a nightmare to deal with. Better hope the paperwork is in order.

I bet its because most of them don't own their buildings and their landlords won't let them do it.

I have a friend who owns a gun shop but everything goes into the safe at night. Someone might do a smash-and-grab but they'd only be able to get accessories (and not much of that because my buddy doesn't stock much of that). I get that it's a pain in the ass to put everything away but I just don't understand leaving firearms out in open sight overnight.

Complacency / laziness is a bitch.

Unless it's a fortress like 5280 Armory.....

Drove by there this morning and saw it boarded up. Seems like this scrap is happening too often anymore.
