Burglary / Theft at Chesapeake Gun Shop
Monday 7/27 at 4:30AM
Chesapeake Gun Shop, 208 Island Plaza Court in Stevensville

Queen Anne’s County Deputies responded to an alarm at Island Plaza Court in Stevensville, MD. First units arrived within minutes and discovered the front glass shattered with signs of obvious entry into the Chesapeake Gun Shop.

Video footage confirmed that a suspect was able to make entry into the store where eight guns valued at $7800 were taken from a display counter, placed into a bag and handed out to an unknown accomplice.

All of the stolen firearms were handguns including Sig-Sauer 9mm, a Colt Government .45, four Smith & Wesson revolvers ranging from .38 Special to a .44 magnum, and two Ruger .357 revolvers.

Persons with information about this crime are urged to contact Detective Steve Matthews of the Sheriff’s Criminal Investigation Unit at (410) 758-0770 extension 1921. Tips can also be emailed to sheriff-info@qac.org or private messaged to the Sheriff’s Office Facebook page.

Hard to blame those undocumented shoppers...ever seen Chesapeake Guns prices?

Also, B&E would also be a normal work-around with respect to their customer service.

Damn. I stopped by that place a few times coming back from O.C. Never bought anything, but the lady behind the county was friendly.

Their service has always sucked when I went in there except for once. It is the kind of place you don't want to see go out of business, just because you don't want to see a gun shop go out of business. I have bought small items there, but as mentioned the prices are their version of theft.

Sucks that it is so close to home. I always thought they had pretty good bars on the doors and windows. I think at their old location someone rammed a car through the front before they put in the jersey walls? Hope they catch someone.

I thought the only way to get a handgun was to have your HQL?

karma for all those bad prices, maybe they're off to Larry's trading post next.

They'll turn up, just as soon as the new owners go to transfer them. No transaction's done until the paper work is finished, don't ya know.

Bummer for sure.

They had handguns in the display case overnight?

Yes. And Tam o'Shanters, too.

That window sticker is moronic on so many levels.

stimpy17 · Jul 28, 2015

Hmm, I wonder if they'll apply for a concealed carry permit? Oh well.
BTW, MSP, now that these firearms are now on the street, how do I protect me and mine??????????????????

It probably makes customers feel good. And safe.

No worries. They'll need to be registered and transferred to an HQL holder when the thief sells them. Not to mention that it would be illegal to use them in the commission of a crime. That would land him in the clinker for a long, long time, because prosecutors and judges enforce the existing criminal laws strictly, right?

The robbery was on Kent Island, not Fantasy Island...

Never had a good experience here, nor have I seen a price anywhere near reality. Not even close. Think used Ruger P95 for $695. Facial expression was priceless when I asked if that was for 2 of 'em :sad20:
