Another attempted gun store burglary

Now the Centennial Gun Club was hit unsuccessfully last night. Not sure if the MO was the same based on the initial news story.

Isn't that five shops in the past week now?

As a society, we pool resources to pay to things that provide a common benefit, including LE operations. I guess it's a wackjob idea that maybe this string of crimes is worth the use of some public money to attempt a proactive arrest of the perps in the act. Maybe, for a defined term, stopping this activity needs to be a priority operation for a broad spectrum of LE agencies, not just the local PD. Or, should we just keep responding retroactively to shops being targeted, one every other day or so, for the rest of the summer?

Security guards might be a nice deterrent, but it's now at the point that deterring is just kicking the can down the road to another target.

And yes, nothing here reduces the shops need to make sure they are not an "all you can take" gun buffet for a smash & enter robbery team, otherwise the ATF and the insurance companies will be making decisions for them.
