FFL Alert from ATF - Beech Grove FFL Burglarized

[KellyinAvon]

And at least a 3 day wait period

Is that for using the stolen vehicle to facilitate another felony, or actually stealing the firearms?

How many firearms have our 3-letter agencies lost, misplaced, or had stolen (not to mention various shady deals like Op Fast & Furious) over the years?

IF your doing a private transaction, always, ask for an ID/LTCH and take a pic of it NEXT to the firearm serial number you're buying, for your safety and peace of mind reasons.

You're free to require that from people. I'm free to tell you to pound sand.

Back to the subject: stolen vehicle, crashed through a security gate, firearms stolen.

All of that sounds pretty illegal to me. But if we had universal background checks… None of this would’ve happened!

Purple as needed…

Gangbangers in Chicago needed guns.

Seriously.. any gun store that doesn't have serious bollards set up as pickets for the front door is asking for trouble, and I don't mean the ones bolted down. I mean the ones set down IN the ground..



Same thing happened to Law Guns a few years back..

Yes

Kind of curious where the On Patrol Live crew was during this incident

ATF investigating break-in at gun shop in Beech Grove

BEECH GROVE, Ind. (WISH) — A theft investigation is underway after a break-in at a gun range in Beech Grove, officials say. Investigators say three men used a pickup truck just after 3 a.m. Sunday to ram the front door of Beech Grove Firearms, 3020 S. Emerson Ave. Two of the suspects helped...

Looks like they got the revolvers and assorted 9mm pistols.

Every gun store should have several of these out front, disguised as planter boxes or topiaries. It would be fun to see these idiots decide they could ram through them and find out they were wrong.

But they left all the valuable lugers and p38s ... definitely looking for guns to sell in Chicago, not valuable collectors items.

On street view they do have big ol concrete planters. Just... not in front of the door.

Thats a little like having two locks and a deadbolt on a screendoor, isn't it?

Yep. this not only isnt unique, its almost ALWAYS how they get in. I cant remember the last gun store burglary that didnt go this way:

Steal big car.
Back said car into door/building to make a hole.
Pull car forward out of the hole so they can run in.
Load up guns into waiting getaway car.

 

[BigMoose]

Yeah think that counter has most of the 9mm stuff

There can be the odd 380/32 over there though.

I got my two Beretta's out of the lower right of the middle cabinet I think.

 

[BigMoose]

Could not help myself and blew it up to window shop.

It looks like the gangbangers rejects from the smashed cabinets are atop this one.

[Ark]

They seriously don't clean those cases out and lock everything in a safe at night?

Might be on Friday.

The Colt New Service/M1917 is still there too.
