They had handguns in the display case overnight?

This is my first thought...
My FFL put all his handguns in a very large safe every night.

I thought part of getting your FFL was to ensure you had a secure place to store them.

That being said no one deserves to be robbed. Leaving the guns out - Stupid maneuver or not on the owners part ... thieves make my skin crawl. They never want to put forth effort to get ahead in life and have entitlement issues that nauseate me.

I have heard from many FFL's that the safe storage was the main thing ATF looks for when applying for the FFL. Someone may have known they do not lock up at night.

Wonder if they touched the nickel plated guns with the don't ask to touch sign? From the report sounds like they were cleaned out. Had no kind of firearm inventory when I stopped in a few months ago.

I thought there was a requirement in fsa 2013 for FFLs to have all guns secured?

Will another gun fit down the front of their pants and be compatible with the side mounted sights?

What's the difference between that and their near-constant smoke breaks--either way it was hard to find anyone who could stay behind the counter...

Given the asking prices, perhaps they thought it easier to sell them to their insurance company?

Insurance covers what they paid for them, not the retail that they didn't get.

Update - Arrest made

ARREST MADE FOR GUN SHOP BURGLARY

Sheriff Gary Hofmann is reporting that an arrest has been made on the July 27th burglary of Chesapeake Gun Shop in Stevensville where eight handguns were stolen.

Gary Alphonso Robinson (27) of Capital Heights, MD turned himself in at the Sheriff's Office Headquarters accompanied by his attorney.

Crime Scene processing of the scene recovered a palm print on broken glass which then led them to a known print of Robinson's from a prior burglary arrest.

The Sheriff's Criminal Investigation Unit with the assistance of Prince George's County Police served a Search Warrant at Robinson's residence in Capital Heights on the early morning hours of September 10th. Robinson was not at the location but the search resulted in the seizure of clothing and 9mm ammunition.

Robinson has been charged with : Burglary 2nd Degree / General, Con- Burglary 2nd Degree / General, Burglary 2nd Degree / Firearm, Con- Burglary 2nd Degree / Firearm, Burglary 3rd Degree, Con- Burglary 3rd Degree, Burglary 4th Degree-Store, Con- Burglary 4th Degree-Store, Burglary 4th Degree Theft, Con- Burglary 4th Degree Theft, Burglary 4th Degree / Permit Tool, Con- Burglary 4th Degree / Permit Tool, Theft $1000 to under $10,000, Con- Theft $1000 to under $10,000 and Reg Firearm Illegal Possession.

A District Court Commissioner held Robinson on $75,000.

At this time the stolen guns and Robinson's accomplice has not been identified but the investigation is continuing according to Sheriff Hofmann.

the guns are most likely gone and wont be recovered until they show up in another crime. this criminal was stupid. no gloves when you know your prints are in the system. but if he was smart he wouldn't be a criminal.
