Yet another gun store break in, this time in NWI

[fuzzy]

Sensing a scary trend across our state. Apparently happened early this morning at Blythe's in Griffith.

Are thugs seeing it occur on the news and getting big ideas or what?

Across from the police station and not a peep was heard.

Some LGS use to have steel doors, and bars on windows. Agreed that it looks like a jail house, big windows invite a car ramming the front, or a back door. This is a changing time for all. Seems to be getting worse. Rolling shutters look a little nicer, but same deal as bars.
Criminals see the opportunity, wait, and hit.
Despite the fact the Police Dept is across the street, Patrolman are doing patrolling, not sitting in the Station.
Good luck finding those guns, probably in Chicago by now.

The irony is they sell safes and have about 30 on site.

Hmmm...could be the same scumbags that hit ZX on Wednesday at the same time of the morning.

I don't think so...Something is afoot...Louisville had two within a couple of days of each other last month....I would love to say more of what I have heard but it was second hand from another gun shop who heard it in a meeting with the branch of law enforcement that handles such things...I know in the week leading up to the robberies in Louisville my local police (unbeknownst to me) were keeping an eye on my shop after hours....Other shops have told me the same...This is in Louisville and Southern Indiana.....

Every night I lay awake waiting for the alarm to go off it seems...I beat the LEO's here by a minute or two so it is something that keeps me awake...The last time it was vibrations from the street that set it off.....

And I thought it would be safe across from the Police station.

I was up there a few weekends ago during the CP gun show. Great store.

 

[Dosproduction]

I shop at the one in Valpo. This is unreal.

And yet you didn't visit.

 

[Hookeye]

Somebody needs to camp out in their store, and when the car comes bashing in, blast the perps.

Of course the odds are, it will start a riot.

Freud was right.

Hahaha. No riots yet here in Indiana...of course this is how they would start

I was really surprised when I heard about it, I was just there last weekend.
