Last I heard on the radio there was a $10,000 reward. $5,000 from NSSF. Forget where the other $5,000 was from.

Oprah was donating the other 5K (GRIN)...

I hope they catch these $hitbags and it doesn't hurt the Hanover folks and their business. They are good people to deal with.

I might need to get my upper sooner than later to help out.

Frosh. Had to be Frosh.

The good folks at Hanover Armory don't need this, and I feel for them.

Also, I'd like to share that, if anyone comes across an individual peddling a gray-cerakoted Fulton AR with Magpul furniture and a PDQ ambi bolt catch, I would GREATLY appreciate your alerting the constabulary. (These two sentiments are not unrelated...)

Sorry about your rifle. :sad20:

Thanks. Me, too. I'm just sick at the thought of it being out on the streets in nefarious hands.

Well that kind of brings it home. Ouch.

If you don't mind, please keep us informed if the rifle is recovered or what happens to make you whole. Assuming they have insurance for this type of situation.

I will endeavor to do so. I don't have a lot of detail I can share this early on, but I can say that Julean and everyone at Hanover have been supportive and terrific to deal with. They're at the top of my list (joining Chad and some IP LGS folks) of "people whose businesses I want to take off in 2018."

Terrible to hear about, but on the bright side this reminded me that they exist. I meant to check them out when they opened and it's slipped the mind. Given that I work nearby, my money is practically already spent...

cap6888 · Jan 11, 2018

Terrible to hear. I’ve only been there twice, but I will be back. They did an NFA engraving for me and I bought a barrel from them. I have a 12.5 upper planned in the near future. I’m definitely going to these guys.

No, Special Agent, the firearms do NOT threaten the safety of our communities - the bastard thieves and those who buy these stolen firearms do so.

Is it no wonder we can't have nice things when the people who are in charge don't even have the correct attitude.

Unfortunately, many people have taken this view where somehow the initial act is considered acceptable or less severe and secondary actions that follow from the primary action are worse. It's a flawed mindset.

My question is why are all these guns not locked up in a safe? I lock all my guns in my safe even though I have an Alarms system, Surveillance Cameras and gun lock them. Why would any FFL just leave all these in the open with a cheap door blocking them? Did the door even have steel bars or anything looks like it didn’t. I think this is just negligence an FFL should know better IMO. Granted a thief is a thief but why make it this simple if this would have been a team of 4 they would have cleared out the store. On Target as someone mentioned as well as a few other gun shops I know of not even in this state all lock up their guns every night. The few that I know that don’t have guards or a person on site 24/7 for security.

I will go with "pain in the ass" for $1,000 Alex.

shouldnt that be "What is a pain in the ass'?

deerassassin22 · Jan 24, 2018

I wonder how much of a pain it is to file an insurance claims and ATF notifications are. For a shop that size it would take maybe 20min to stuff them all in a cannon or liberty safe.

Doctor_M · Jan 24, 2018

Good people at Hanover Arms.... I threw some business their way at the Timmonium Gun Show a few weeks ago. Super nice people.

Hope they catch everyone involved in this mess.

Sutton's law.
"I rob banks because that's where the money is."

People rob gun shops because that's where the guns are.
