Suspects smash their way into Monkey Junction gun shop

I question the use of the phrase "alleged crime" (as if this burglary might somehow have been legal), and referring to the perpetrators as "suspects". It seems clear that there was an actual crime, committed by criminals. A criminal whose identity is not yet known is not a suspect. A suspect is a specific person whose identity is known, but whose guilt is not yet established. Why not call it like it is?
 
Carolina Guns and Gear had an attempted break in last night also. Don’t think they got it

Really? All that was between these suspects and guns was glass? I think they should have locked up their guns better.

Yes, let’s not place blame on the thieves. When someone breaks in a home and steals people’s valuables it’s the home owners fault for not having better security.

This head in the sand response was expected. Why make it so easy for someone to steal something? Of course it is the thieves to blame.

Maybe grocery and convenient stores should keep all there merchandise behind bars. They shouldn’t make it so easy to steal.

Easy entry: turning a door handle of an unlocked door and walking in.


The opposite of easy entry: illegally smashing through barriers with tools.

Do you leave your doors unlocked at night, or when you are away?
 
While it is clearly the fault of the thieves, it seems rather unwise to store firearms in a vacant building (nobody around at night right?) in such a manner that they can be relatively easily taken.

Not as relevant for grocery or convenience stores. Higher value targets (merchandise) suggest stronger security. How many jewelry stores leave their wares out in a plain glass window?

A little less than an arsenal, thus more easily obfuscated. A bevy is even smaller, and is the first rank of concealability.

But, what about a cornucopia? Or does that just describe variety, not volume? :D

A cornucopia is quantity an order of magnitude in the other (greater) direction.

Many have tried, but it is unknown if anyone ever actually achieved a cornucopia of firepower. It may well be a mythical number (though still worthy of pursuit).
 
I thought all gun stores locked everything up at night. I’ve been in several at closing time and they were putting them all in the safe. One had a safe set up so they went in and out in shelf order to make it easier to put back in the morning.
