1- A Nashville area gun store was burglarized and 30-40 guns were stolen. I read these stories all the time, so many of these gun stores are little mom and pop operations. There needs to be some kind of minimum standard for securing the inventory at night. Hell, jewelry stores do it all the time.NewsChannel5.com | Nashville News, Weather

Southern Beale's Tennessee Gun Report
Southern Beale has a treasure trove of gun stories, as usual, including this one:

Police seem to be real happy that they have very clear video of the criminals that will aid in their arrest and prosecution. It was also noted in the video that the criminals had to break into the building and then into a gun safe to steal the firearms. They weren't just laying about it seems.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you're hearing what you want to hear. I heard "two gun cases," which conjures up glass display cases with next to nothing in the way of security.
DeleteAs Southern Beale mentioned, if it's good enough for jewelry stores it should be good enough for gun shops.
There is a considerable difference between a safe big enough to house hundreds of diamonds, and a safe big enough to house hundreds of guns. The only thing to satisfy you would be for gun shops to be located in former banks, or are you envisioning something else that would satisfy you?
DeleteYou are correct, I did hear the worng thing and also found this that backs up the video.
Delete"Three thieves used a sledgehammer to break into the nRange gun store on Gallatin Pike about 1:30 a.m.
The men then smashed a glass counter, stealing more then 40 handguns and long guns before running out."
"The monetary value is one thing, OK. The thought of having these guns in the wrong hands? That bothers me," said store owner Ted Murrell."

What would satisfy me is some minimum standards for gun shops to lock up their guns at night. It would be the commercial equivalent of the safe storage laws I'd like to see for home owners.
DeleteWhat this guy did was the equivalent of keeping your extra guns under the pillow when you go out to the local roadhouse to knock a few back.
As Sarge points out, the store had security measures. Of course, to a gun control freak, there's always one more thing that everyone should be doing, until we're all disarmed.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I've been to that store. It wasn't selling anything I was looking for at the time. And I preferred to deal with this man:

Yeah, he sounds like a real sweetheart.
DeleteHe is a well-educated man. We talked philosophy and literature and guns.
DeleteYou can't even educate kids much less yourself
DeleteAnonymous, I've educated some 2,000 students--not kids, thanks--in my career. What have you done to make the world better?
DeleteYour kids are the dumbest in the nation.
DeleteCongratulations on your failure.
Our society incurs all sorts of extra expenses, to keep the public safe. If it costs more to keep these killing machines out of crooks hands, that's an expense passed onto consumers, like any other business cost. I'm sure it's less expensive to operate a coffee shop, than a bar. A big part of a cars high price, is all the safety engineered into the car.
ReplyDeleteBut Mike, I’ve been trying to get some kind of standard out of you before, and where you last left it was that it should be up to the judge. So even if you own the Adamentium Safe-O-Matic 5000, you’ll still be cuffed, have to post bail, lawyer up, and defend yourself in court if your gun gets stolen. What minimum standard do you expect?
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't think a person who uses a proper safe should be arrested for failure to use a proper safe.
DeleteWhat's a "proper safe"?
DeleteIs that the best you can do in a serious discussion? You're turning into quite the pain-in-the-ass, but I guess when you're on the wrong side of the argument, as in this case arguing AGAINST safe storage laws, the best you can do is ask petty and tedious questions to turn the discussion into a drag.
DeleteTypical lying coward, he speaks against gun safes, but doesn't even know what a proper gun safe is.
DeleteHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Mikeb, you won't say what an adequate safe is, but given the way gun control advocates move the goalposts repeatedly, my suspicion is that ultimately, no safe would be enough for you.
DeleteYou are the expert ass hole criminal lying coward, you tell us.
DeleteGreg, I don't say what an adequate safe is because I don't know the first thing about them. Technical standard like that would have to be set by experts in the field and then when violations occur a judge would have to determine a person's guilt or innocence.
DeleteThat's interesting, Mikeb. You'd accept expert opinions on safes, but you reject expert opinions on guns and self-defense.
DeleteThe site lying criminal coward has told us many times he knows better than judges, he knows better than the experts, he knows better than the science of safer gun procedures and gun safes. He's so full of shit.
