Gronk had his guns stolen in burglary

[TLB]

I really want to satisfy my morbid curiosity. Someone please get him an NES membership, I bet he would be a riot to chat with. May be needs a couple of 1919 pistols on 30-06, that would be awesome to see at the range.

Get him a membership? Let's just find out his username.

Risky business breaking in on the Gronk. How the heck did the thieves know he wasn't home?

Maybe they heard he was out of town.

Russians did it! They also conspired with Eagles. Let's sink few millions into that quick sand!

for sho! Let me call Yahoo with this news story so I can put them as a reliable source for a FISA warrant!

There is no requirement a pistol save be bolted or secured. Calling this a storage violation would be a stretch.

Mora is very flexible when it comes to re-interpretations. What happens if a couple of innocent children stole those safe?

On a serious note though, those safes, assuming they are small pistol safes, are probably more like mobile containers than a storage device, hence must be secured themselves.

It's interesting the report is talking about "stolen safes" rather than breeched containers.

It's coming off a recording of the local police comms in Foxborough (one of the news reports this morning played it - from memory while I was slogging on the treadmill: "Multiple safes taken - possible guns stolen"). The accuracy is likely fair-to-middling, assuming you have whomever took the report passing the details to the dispatcher, who then made the radio call.

There is no requirement a pistol save be bolted or secured. Calling this a storage violation would be a stretch.

AFAIK, there isn't even a requirement that there be a safe. I believe lying on a table with a properly installed approved trigger lock would be legal. Stupid, but still legal.

On a serious note though, those safes, assuming they are small pistol safes, are probably more like mobile containers than a storage device, hence must be secured themselves.

I don't think so, but I'd be more than willing to see a cite that makes that point.

Lets wait until all the facts are in.... Just saying. I'm betting its an inside job.

 

[el duderino]

They weren't his guns, but his roommate/asst prob bodyguard. Gronk doesn't have an ltc. Where he is is within shouting distance of the police station pretty much. There is video but no word if any good shots of the burglars.

The Butler did it

Malcolm was at the game albeit benched...

Multiple safes stolen,,,

Police investigate burglary at Rob Gronkowski's Foxborough home

WTF...a millionaire NFL start doesn't have an alarm? 90% of these home burglaries are committed by someone known to the owner who has been in the house and knows what they're looking for. Probably a carpenter or plumber..maybe the shatbag cousin. They'll get caught.

 

[71montess]

This begs the question, were they locked up ?

The plumber? Eff you!
;^)

 

[wahsben]

Some others have mentioned what I was thinking about an alarm system You'd think that someone with the amount of money he earns would have a very good alarm system. If he didn't I wonder why. If he did than either these were pros that knew how to disable it or as others have stated an inside job.
It sure has to suck though to come home after losing the Super Bowl and find that your house has been broken into.

Ya, what he ^ said !

Gotta love the left wing media. (CBS Sports article)

"It is hardly unusual for a professional athlete to own a gun. Nor is it illegal for an American citizen to own a gun. The idea of a Patriots tight end owning guns could be considered ... odd, given past circumstances, and it is interesting that the police chief declined to mention the guns in his statement to the Globe. "

 

[Varmint]

What the hell did he have for a security system, standing in a 3 point stance in front of a safe? I don't have 1/1000th of his money and I at least have a wireless motion camera, that dials my cell phone, alarm system focused on my safe. And all the points of entry into the house.

He has 2 housemates, sounds like he think he's still in college.

 

[Waher]

They call themselves "entourage".

 

[Reptile]

His room was found secure. Maybe guns do not play into this at all. Perhaps the "safes" that were stolen were not his OR he had his own safes in another part of the house that WERE stolen. Although a terrible situation - this may not be as bad as first reported...

'My whole house got robbed,' Rob Gronkowski said in 911 call reporting home break-in

Side note:

He lives with roommates.

You can tell when robs not home. His phone goes into voicemail, but only after 6 rings,

When it goes right to voicemail, or after just 2 rings I know he’s home and he’s blowing off my call, he does that a lot ...

Please quote the source of authority for your declaration of "must".

 

[whacko]

News tonight says 3 guns stolen.....gronk does not have a license to carry but his trainer and room mate does.

 

[SKumar]

I find it hard to believe that Gronk actually went and got a LTC for those guns.

Please cite your source for this.

News tonight says his trainer and room mate has an LTC. If that's true he's g2g as long as they were stored according to storage law.

That is, assuming, he does not say anything stupid like "Yeah, it's my safe; I have the combination; I let my trainer use the safe as well".

I wonder if "trainer" and "room mate" are code words for gay partners?

 

[Cowgirlup]

Nnooooooooo!!!!!

 

[whacko]

Does it matter? I personally don't concern myself with who people freely choose to sleep with.

 

[whacko]

Nnooooooooo!!!!!

And what difference would it make if he was gay?

 

[whacko]

That is, assuming, he does not say anything stupid like "Yeah, it's my safe; I have the combination; I let my trainer use the safe as well".

That's why I said stored in compliance to mass storage law.

 

[Blitz1]

Why does Gronk have a room mate?

Sorry house mate.

 

[Buck F]

If he gets a membership maybe now he'll buy that Flobert Rifle.
