Please use this thread to post stolen or lost firearms here.
Date of Theft: Locale: Manufacture: Model: Caliber: Serial Number: (if you're not comfortable with the full number X out the leading portion i.e.: XXX2345.) If someone comes across a hit who should they contact - the poster directly or which law enforcement agency. And as a reminder. When you own an AR-15 or two, a pistol or two, a scope ... it's time to invest in a safe place to store these things. In all my years here I've heard of dozens of weapons stolen out of a closet or from under a bed but not a story yet about ones cut from a gun safe. Even a simple gun cabinet can keep casual theft of a weapon. They cost $200-$300 and can be bolted with 4" lag bolts into the wall and floor. A "real" gun safe costs about $600 to several hundreds of dollars. Most are 10 gauge steel and will have a door stronger than the safe's body. Protection is measured in pounds here. A fire lining is a good option to have as many guns are burned in safes. I chose a digital lock as being more secure - more combinations, quicker to open, easy to open without eye glasses, and the combination can be changed. Mechanical locks can be opened by contacting the manufacturer with a search warrant or proof-of-purchase and the serial number. Operations security means hiding the safe in a bedroom closet where guests are not likely to see it. Also don't brag around about your weapons. |

"Shut your mouth when it comes to guns and what we own" I now know what he was talking about. I know nothing, I own nothing, its none of anyone's business. and a HUGE +eleventybillion on the gun cabinet. If you do not have one, your next purchase SHOULD be one. |
