XDM 9mm stolen from car

slybarman · Oct 23, 2013

From today's capital. Wonder what the gun was doing in the car? DId she just buy it or was she heading to/from the range?:

A thief broke into a car parked in a strip mall lot and stole a handgun Tuesday afternoon.
When officers responded to the West Annapolis Shopping Center at 607 Taylor Ave. at 2:23 p.m., a 46-year-old woman told them that she had parked her Infiniti FX35 and then went inside the Rite-Aid drug store.
After shopping for 30 minutes, the woman returned to her car and found the rear passenger window had been broken. A Springfield XDM 9 mm handgun, with an estimated value of $700, was taken from the trunk, police said.

Assuming you are not just being facetious, who gives a crap that it was in the car/trunk while she stopped at the pharmacy - regardless of what the law says - the point is that someone obviously followed her and knew it was in the trunk! Let's not make the victim the perp for not following a stupid law, and rather concentrate on the dirt bag criminal that exploited this women's naïve disposition. After all, if this stupid State would have issued her a Carry & Wear Permit it would have never been a problem! :sad20:

We are in the state we are in. Stupid yes. She would not be the first person followed from a store/range either. I am curious to see if she gets jammed up for having it in the trunk, the state's priorities being what they are.

YES

Can I play devil's advocate? I would assume that if she admitted to having a loaded handgun in the car that she was carrying around with her, the police would have said something different or pressed some kind of charges against her. Correct?

The lady was headed home from shooting at the range. I spoke with some ppl involved with the police interview. Funny part is she called the range she left and chewed them out for not telling her she is supposed to go only to and from the range with the firearm in the car. Lol

Do we know what range? I think the last time this type thing was posted, the person was followed from on target.

Yes, it was ontarget!

I think we all have to run SDRs each time we leave on target. I'm only half kidding.

Wonder if we can make being a customer of On Target a candidate for G/S?

amoebicmagician · Oct 23, 2013

there's some shady characters around that on target.

If you were a criminal who wanted a gun, why not just follow someone leaving a shooting range?

I mean, you show up to the Taco Bell for your munchies, and realize there's a range right there, and then a masterful plan emerges in your reefer-baked psyche

'follow people... steal their guns... IT'S ALL COMING TOGETHER!"

whistlersmother · Oct 23, 2013

Damn! I'm going to have to much more careful when leaving on target...

Glad I read this thread this evening.

The shopping center where the gun was stolen is 20-25 miles away from On Target. That's a long way to follow someone.

True, but most of it is down 97. Wouldn't be hard to follow somebody down the highway that isn't expecting to be followed.

Could all just be a coincidence . . . or not.

Not the first time someone has been followed from OnTarget.

Reading about situations like this are the reason why I pay attention to my rearview when leaving the range. Even when I'm departing the AGC, but particularly when leaving OnTarget.

Kilroy · Oct 24, 2013

Another reason I like shooting at Freestate, even though On Target is much closer. It's nearly impossible to not notice someone follow you from there.

K.C.Dean · Oct 24, 2013

Who ever stole the woman's gun might have had intentions of following her all the way home. That is scary. Everyone needs to be more vigilant.

I thought I heard/read that smash and dash was on the rise in MD right now. Not just guns being taken, everything. But yes, I think that's at least 3 from OT in the past 2 months?
