Heads up, probably nothing, but....Just got a call and a follow up email.

This is an important message from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.  Possible civil dispute in our area may result in looting of businesses. The ATF reminds you to remain vigilant and to take appropriate steps to secure both your firearms inventory and your required records.  Please report all suspicious persons or activity to your local police department.  Additionally, notify ATF at 888-930-9275 if you find any of your firearms missing, lost or stolen or if you are a victim of an attempted burglary of your business.

I think the police in Atlanta might be a little busy and I don't feel too confident they are prioritizing "suspicious activity" calls.

I'd think any gun shop within reach of mobs would be a high prized target for looters. The next call from the ATF might be - A scorched earth call - "In an effort to reduce the uncontrolled spread of firearms and looting of weapons, we are asking all FFL dealers in the Metro area to torch their buildings"

I hope the looters get hungry soon and then figure out that by burning own their local retailers they can't get anything and stop.

Chuck's Firearms in Buckhead was broken into Saturday night and the savages took 43 handguns.  One had a price tag of over $4000.  Must be a Wilson.

I thought the strip Chuck's was in was replaced by new construction. I guess I had it mixed up.

Odd the way Chucks got hit. Looked like whites and blacks, only stole pistols. Not the standard MO for Gangbangers or meth heads.
I hope these guns aren't used to escalate violence by a certain Anti Facist group.
This shit wreaks of them. Hope I'm wrong.
