Peddler got hit last nite... (Columbus, IN)

[jblomenberg16]

Sorry to hear about this.

FYI, a similar break in at ACME in Seymour this year resulted in a similar amount of rifles stolen. In that case the suspects (local individuals) were caught and weapons recovered.

My guess is this wasn't a professional "hit" trying to smuggle weapons to gangs in Chicago, Mexico, Syria, or wherever. It was probably some local criminals upping the ante a bit and trying to get some goods they could turn around quickly for drugs or cash.

Good store and good people. By far my favorite gun store in the area. More helpful than the other two stores in town. That and there prices are cheaper than anything else around. It's a shame this happened.

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.

Could you do INGO a favor and post the serial numbers of the stolen firearms?

That is, of course, should the promising leads on the suspects not turn them up in short order.

Sorry to hear about the GS getting robbed. Locks are good for keeping honest people honest. It's difficult to stop a good crook.

This seems to be a growing trend.



Attack rattlesnakes...that is all.

How often do you see full serial #'s posted??

"Could you do INGO a favor and post the serial numbers of the stolen firearms"

^^^This is almost NEVER done. Too many problems can be caused by posting serial #'s for the "World" to see.

I'm sure the business owner WILL have posts/notices local,state+national of his break in, with contact #'s for info leading to arrest+conviction of the sucm that did this.

Just my 2 cents worth...Bill.

Hope the cops catch these SOB's Sig-Bandit

Serial numbers would be nice to know, should the guns get posted on Armslist, or Hoosier Topics.
But I do understand why someone might be hesitant to post them. Sorry to hear about the break in.

I have used this site before http://www.hotgunz.com/ to ck. serial numbers against thier data base.

Thanks all for the support, we are open for business as usual, Mon-Fri 11-6 and Saturday 10-3. We are located at 1630 Home Avenue in Columbus, 47201. Phone number is 812-657-7250. We are actively working with CPD detectives and ATF field agents on getting these guys. Also working on adding more security to the building including video cameras.

 

[223 Gunner]

I hope they catch the scum bags. Although these days it doesn't mean much, a slap on the hand and probation. Until they do it some more.

 

[RetDep310]

Not very responsible for you early posters to be slammin' somebody before all the facts are known!!! Good people own the shop and somtimes things beyond your control just happen. Don't be jumping to conclusions!!!

 

[paddling_man]

I was coming back from camping down in Hoosier and heard the report on the radio. They gave the detective's name and a description of the two suspects. Do want to repeat that description for the viewing audience here?

 

[AppointedReaper]

I hope they catch these thieves quickly and the Peddler gets those guns back. The Peddler is one of my favorite shops.

 

[U.S. Patriot]

The ATF and local LE are working on catching the rat bastards.

Strange way to keep selective fire weapons.

 

[Tinner666]

BTW, I hope they catch them and put them under the jail slab.

Strange way to keep selective fire weapons.

Selective fire?

 

[Tinner666]

"Selective fire?"
The article I read said 'assualt weapons', not semi autos. Big difference.

 

[AppointedReaper]

As far as I know they weren't selective fire weapons. Just some semi AR 15s and Mosins. Typically the people that write these stories label anything black with a detachable magazine, an assault rifle.

 

[OWGEM]

Geez guys, get over these "assault rifle" knee jerk put downs. It's a misnomer, it happens all the time. It's like calling a magazine a clip. It's not that big a deal.
