From the Parker PD facebook page:

Early this morning at 3 a.m., officers responded to an attempted burglary at Pony Express Firearms, located at 10970 S. Parker Road, on a report of a black SUV, later determined to be a stolen Jeep, that attempted to drive through the front entrance of the store. The SUV hit a barrier and an unknown number of suspects were seen by a witness fleeing the vehicle. The suspects entered a second vehicle heading northbound on Parker Road. Local area law enforcement agencies were notified and Parker Detectives are currently on scene.The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was notified and are assisting with the investigation.
No firearms were taken.

Yup, store owners should be on notice, and take appropriate measures to secure their merchandise.

An absolutely correct statement. Both approaches are appropriate given the current frequency of events.

Probably think 4x4 has better chance breaking through. Or may they just know how to steal that make.

I haven't seen any pics, but it looks like this shop did. Jeep hit a barrier and no guns taken.

I wasn't necessarily speaking on this specific incident, but in general.

Yeah, I was agreeing with you. Good on them for having an effective barrier (it appears thay way anyway).

I know I may be going off the deep end but I keep thinking this is part of a plan to get more anti-gun laws. I'm thinking hickemlooper and his buddies have a sting shop set up paying big money for any gun, no questions asked. This has created a demand that the local bad guys are looking to fill. These bad guys are probably illegal already and know that their sanctuary status would help them slide away if they get caught. hicks crew thinks if enough stolen guns are recovered then they can get credit for saving lives while at the same time give the legislature excuses to make more laws that would drive small gun shops out of business.

On the other hand maybe I need to double the layers of tin foil on my headgear.
