Wow! :shock: That SUV must have been moving pretty fast because they have large concrete barriers in front of the store.
I am scared of empty guns and keep mine loaded at all times. The family knows the guns are loaded and treats them with respect. Loaded guns cause few accidents; empty guns kill people every year. -Elmer Keith. 1961

Even if I was going to break into a store....that would not be the one. I would really be scared that the place was set up with trip wires.

I like the place....I hope to go back and visit one of these days.

The barriers were not secured to the ground, they got one shoved over to the left, and ramed the store to the right of the door(the counter inclosure) which no doubt sent some of thier better guns sailing.
some of the guns were found burned in the SUV

That's just sad that guns were left in the vehicle to burn!! Must have been the Mosin's :lol:

Still, that place was pretty well set up as far as displays go......wall to wall rifles.......I almost bought a STAR 9mm there one day. Hopefully, they rebuild. To many places have closed doors lately.

yeah had the TV on mute when that came on fox 4. I recognised it from the vid since I run up there to get AK recievers now and then.
They prolly couldnt stack all the guns in their camry or carrolla. left the crappiest behind.
MGS will prolly post a stolen list on AR15.com pretty soon. They will mess up and someone will run accross them.

Like when an entire container of guns came up missing when cabela's was under construction, only took them 3 weeks or so to find those.
