Shooters Outpost attempted break-in this morning

[DW357]

Posted on Facebook earlier. With the amount of money in inventory and security cameras at that store, I’d imagine it will be VERY difficult to break into SO.

He is offering a reward for info, has he released pictures so people know who to look for ?

 

[traffic626]

No, he said he’s not releasing info because it’s an actIve investigation

I'm guessing he's hoping someone flips on a friend/family member that runs their mouth.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Comments mention Stateline and a few others had attempts recently as well.

 

[FiremanBob]

Attempts at several other shops in recent days, too. One shop posted video but ATF told them to take it down. Maybe the cops are trying to protect the criminals again - I'd much prefer it if a group of citizens could catch them and dispense appropriate justice.

 

[enbloc]

Lots of NFA stuff there. Someone planning something maybe?
Certainly not a Collector or Enthusiast.

Hope they get them soon...

 

[HARRYM]

I'm sure there are a lot of folks on Facebook chomping at the bit to help the store owner out.........

 

[cams]

I’m surprised FB allows use of the word gun or firearms w/out auto editing to protect the children.

Those guns probably would have been headed for a nice high profile crime scene in Chicago no doubt.

So Potato Head could once again claim “THERE ARE TOO MANY GUNS ON THE STREETS!” Like he did when the jihadi his DOJ brought over tried to shoot up a synagogue but failed.

Maybe they were just after the BBQ.

Rather than clog up the judicial system with these hoodlums, I'd prefer they just put them in a room for 10 minutes with Jim. That would be justice served...

Facebook Messenger used to have a neat "gun" emoticon you could substitute for the thumbs up. Quite a while back they replaced it with a water pistol looking icon

Apple did the same thing on iPhones and iPads.

 

[Nick Leduc]

Wonder if it is the same group that did a smash and grab at Naults Powersports a few weeks ago.

Does Jim need to borrow my pliers ?

He's all set...

 

[not new guy]

What’s the point of the private reward? Is he worried about them coming back? Good industry and public citizenship? Vengeance?

If I couldn't use my pliers on them, I'd want to offer a reward dead or alive.

 

[67ray]

He is kinda arrogant and doesn't like being had

I'm pretty sure that FB kicked Stateline out last July since Gene hasn't advertised/updated anything since then.

When Shooter's first opened, Jim posted on here a bit about the security measures he was taking. Nobody is stealing anything unless it is an inside job.

The gun emoji is specified as Unicode character x1F52B but each vendor makes up their own graphic for each emoji.

Idiots that do this kind of stuff don't know how to shut their pie holes. Someone will squawk eventually.

5:19am is a pretty lame break in attempt time.

 

[nstassel]

Kill all thieves. Not if they're my clients of course but all the rest.

So what would stop someone from backing a dump truck through a wall and then trowing stuff into a pick up truck and bolting?
I've never been there, but photos sure do look like a timber frame building.

Actually I don't think it is that lame. Early enough that it is still dark, late enough that it is plausible to have someone / a vehicle on the location. By contrast, if anyone is seen there at 3am it's more likely to be for nefarious reasons.

 

[Mountain]

What I don't get is why not post pics or videos of the perps? I don't get the "active investigation" bullshit reason not to.

 

[RDG]

This explains the ATF notification call I just got.
