If someone can get into your gunstore just by breaking a glass door maybe you need a different business. +1 for having them secured inside but was there any alarm?

 

[TheRude1]

No alarm ?

Thas kinda STUPID

If you own a store that sells firearms and you don't alarm the building you have no business owning a store that sells firearms !

Agreed. My alarm would have an alarm. I figured that would be a requirement to have insurance for a business like that.

In reading the comments it looks like they have an alarm. I suppose it's s question of why it wasn't armed or why it didn't work.

I don't know for sure if they did or didn't. Having an alarm is no guarantee, in the shop I worked at in MI we had very secure doors and an alarm but they cut a hole in our roof and just never hit the motion detectors. We came in to find a ladder still there, they didn't get much because they didn't know the alarm wasn't working.

There is an alarm - per the employee who posted on the Republic article... apparently, it either malfunctioned, or was thwarted.

I know the owner very well, and have been doing business with him for some time. Before anyone starts spouting BS when you do not know what happened, only what you read from our local douche bag Liberal newspaper, know the damn facts. I was in there today myself. I will not at this time for the respect of the owner, give any other information. I will say he took all the necessary steps to keep the guns secured. I figure out of all people, you would be the last to make uneducated assumptions.

 

[printcraft]

Assault Mosins are capable of shooting 10's of rounds per minute.....


I need another high caliber assault rifle...... Character Matters!!!

I'm also one of Shanon's customers. Hate to hear about this and will guarantee that he is far from being stupid.

I understand he has a new place, have not been there, last tim in his place was when he was in strip mall. But he certainly seemed far from STUPID, I'm sure he had security in place. But just like in indy a few years ago (someone used a truck to crash thur wall) if someone what's in bad enought they WILL get in. A bussiness or home,makes no difference

 

[Fordtough25]

Have done business with him several times, good guy. Hate to hear about break ins anywhere.

 

[Sig-Bandit]

I will set the record straight before any other people make assumptions. Long guns were cabled up, alarm system was set, I have inside motion sensors and glass breakage on all windows/doors. The alarm was not tripped during the break-in but was set off when officers arrived to clear the building. A passerby saw the busted glass from the front door and called it in prior to that. At this point in time we have 2 strong suspects that Columbus Police are looking for, as for the alarm company they are still looking into why it malfunctioned. Thanks to those of you here that support me and dont jump to conclusions without knowing facts.

 

[Spike_351]

Are you still up and in buisness as of right now? I work in Columbus and have been curious about your shop, would love to stop in sometime and check it out if I can find the time, what are your store hours? I'm really sorry to hear abot the break In. Hopefully they are caught soon.

I hope CPD finds those responsible. I have bought from you before and it was a pleasurable experience. Please let us know when you are open again.
