I'm not so sure that gun shop break-ins are any worse than the gun shop owners & employees who will sell a gun to anyone who walks through the door, regardless of age or criminal record. The unfortunate truth is that criminals don't obey laws, and, like anything else, the crooks will find a way to get what they want. BTW, I'm an NRA Life Member.Yes I know It was a lack of the watchful eye . The lack of the ever vigilant . The one thing that we as old timers have by second nature . The gun was supplied by that one thing . It just saddens me that it happens, and it happens to our most valuable resource . Here we have had a rash of break-ins at pawn shops and gun stores .Hundreds of guns fall into the wrong hands . This must be stopped . If you paint cars you have to have a vault for storing paints . Why are these places not made to treat guns the same way . You and I both know there is no substitute , For the responsible gun owner . We /they make all around them safer . No I don' blame the gun ,but the hands that passed the gun .
