Damn, that’s horrible. I haven’t been in the store in probably 10+ years. I stopped by pretty often, when I lived closer.

That's a very cool store. I feel terrible for the owner.

Getting to the point where I can see shops taking more direct action. Unfortunately, that ain't going to be looked on kindly in this area.

It’s just those nice ANTIFA folk looking for party favors…give them space, willya?

Damn. Right down the street from the PD. Brazen.

Robbery or Burglary? They are not the same. I know what OP posted, but I can't find details.

Can't be. ANTIFA is just an idea.

But the BATF(and BIG explosions) robocalls I've been getting focus on AACO and PGCO...

I bet not a single one of those burglars even filled out a background check form or call the nics to properly transfer all the guns they stole. It sickens me that they're not following the law on background checks. We obviously need more gun laws

My question as well. If gun stores are starting to actually get robbed, that is a scary thought.

And now given Andy's situation, the crooks know that the first line of active defense has been all but neutered.

or, do they know that some store owners might be shooting (at) them...

Purcell's Custom Gunsmith in Orange is my LGS. I am selling some of my accumallection with him. He is strictly consignment,so a lot of people would be affected by theft.
If you want C&R aged firearms Purcell's in Orange is the place to go. He is Hogmando on GunBroker.
I did not know of the shop in Purcellville. Sad times .

I went through Purcelville a few times, down main street I believe? Does that gun store have a cannon outside on display?

Well, the 2024 primary season is coming up.

Supplies will be needed for the usual mostly peaceful demonstrations. Upping the ante from frozen water bottles and pre-positioned pallets of bricks. Tactical flexibility coupled with lighter equipment load.
