    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.

    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 wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    Thank you. Words have meaning. It appears that even the media doesn't understand the difference (surprise, surprise).

    Of course it's not technically a burglary, it is a burglary.

    YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.
    When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away...
    Gun registration is gun confiscation in slow motion.

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

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

    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 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.

    I work Saturdays at a local range/store. We put our stuff away every night, and it takes us well over an hour between that and cleaning the range.

    Lo and behold, we got broken into a while back and the thieves got absolute dick from us. We've since beefed up security even more, but the dividends of locking everything away more than paid off. That hour each day is worth the fact that those two minutes didn't result in deaths, audits, or additional headaches.
