Brand-new pistols and even AR-15s have been looted from freight trains waiting for signals on the south side. Same speculation...somebody’s tipping off what containers to hit.

I have seen many gun shipments over the years. Most are delivered by FED-x to gun stores and by common carrier to warehouses. I have a hard time believing that guns are shipped by rail. It is the slowest least dependable method of shipment.
