200+ firearms stolen from Indianapolis area warehouses

Wow

Wonder what security measures are taken at those warehouses or how a known package with a firearm is stored .

Not good. Inside job maybe ?

Keep your eyes open. If a deal looks to good to be true, I probably is.

This from the article was news to me.

Burge and other federally registered dealers are not given a way to check firearm serial numbers to verify if a gun has been stolen or not. However, pawn shops have that ability.

Burge said, “You bring in a firearm into a pawn store, they are going to enter it in a government database and they are going to be told ‘yes’ or ‘no,’ so it helps. We do not have access to that program, nor is it required.”

So a pawn shop can check serial numbers but a FFL cannot? Why?

Could easily be another Fast and Furious type operation. I have absolutely no evidence of that, but that's the first thing that came to mind when I read your post. The government seems to enjoy arming people who probably shouldn't have firearms and taking away from those who are responsible.

I cannot imagine how long it took for those thugs to go through more than 200 universal background checks.

Indeed.

Would almost have to be a inside job as stated above, a lot of firearms gone and no mention of other things stolen??

Only military and police should have firearms.

That's the impression I got when I read the OP...

So we the people are expected to report a stolen firearm almost immediately but the police don’t have to? Ok, no double standard here.

Learn how to make wise decisions...because when push comes to shove it will be the only thing you can rely upon.

It's a poorly worded report. Criptic and hard to tell exactly what is meant.

One would think, if IMPD really did have firearms stolen, it would be reported on by more than just one source?

Greg from Beach Grove Firearms was commenting as part of the report. He didn't give the impression that IMPD had lost any firearms? Greg's concern was that there has been no notification of that many stolen guns flooding the area?

The evidence does not support that idea.

IMPD did not lose anything. The report was poorly worded. It is an investigation of stolen firearms investigated by IMPD and the ATF.

Cool your jets. The police didn't have anything stolen. It's a poorly worded article. They are investigating a large theft of firearms.
