Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I would say that is a bit of an oversimplification of the issue, and wouldn't equate firearms on the same level as other "hobbies".Originally Posted by Eric P
Better business practices by certain vendors would have negated the apparent need for this law.
The vagrants of Boulder welcome you...
Agree.... after the first time of a store getting robbed of firearms, you'd think they'd figure out how to improve... After the second time, i'd damn sure figure it out...
'Unless a law-abiding individual has a firearm for his or her own defense, the police typically arrive after it is too late. With rigor mortis setting in, they mark and bag the evidence, interview bystanders, and draw a chalk outline on the ground' - Judge Benitez , 2019, Duncan v. Becerra.
'One of the ordinary modes by which Tyrants accomplish their purpose without resistance is by disarming the people and making it an offense to keep arms.' Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story, 1840.
But stealing is already illegal. Why punish a property owner for the deeds of those who ignore existing laws?
Just another silly law equivalent to the puffer law. Punish victims, and potential victims, not the criminals.
Not really. You're punishing people that make the entire industry more risky/expensive.
Actually when it comes to commercial real estate rental a lot of times retail buildouts will be financed by the property owner so writing enhanced security upgrades in to the provisions of a lease could be a simple slam dunk on the part of the leasee. The property owner has an incentive to get a good renter in that will increase the value and thus the rental potential of their property so they will often pay for upgrades themselves in exchanve for the negotiated lease rate.
In other words, no real excuse for not having bars in the windows or doors.

Triple J has been burglarized a number of times, yet they choose to not learn a lesson. I can't imagine what their insurance company has to say about it.

That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
I bet Walmart looses far more money from shoplifting in a period of time. Maybe they should be forced to fix the issue. Some government regulation driving up the cost to do business would be welcomed by fascist for eliminating competition
and maybe socialist if it created more government jobs.

Oh FFS. Of course Walmart loses more money BUT
1. Walmart is a much bigger operation than a LGS. The percentage of revenue they lose from shoplifting is miniscule compared to the percentage some of these LGSes are losing to crash-and-run robberies.
2. Walmart does loss prevention analysis and makes decisions about it based on cost and risk profiles. They actually have bollards outside their entrances so you CAN'T do a crash and run.
3. I somehow don't feel endangered from someone shoplifting candy or DVDs from Walmart. It's not even close to someone getting a couple dozen unsecured firearms after crashing a car through the door of the LGS.
4. These regulations wouldn't even have been proposed if the LGS involved had secured their firearms after hours or had reasonable prevention safeguards in place. My buddy in Florida with a LGS secures EVERY firearm when he closes up. EVERY one.
Just how many fascists or socialists do you see on this board? I think I've seen a small handful of socialist whackjobs here over the years and they've generally been laughed off the board. This is a case where it gets really hard for even die-hard 2A supporters to defend the numbnuts that do stupid stuff.
The fact I brought up Walmart is that you could apply this government regulation to anything even candy. If you believe a company can stay in business getting robbed every week you are wrong; they would run out of money and the insurance would run out ( capitalism). Your friend in Florida seem nice; maybe you should move there. Criminal s don’t a bay laws.Littleton is being political. Automobiles kill more people than guns, wtf, aloha
