----Is this an AR 15 air rifle?

The video on the right above the story is 3:06 minutes long and is the one that shows the man stealing the gun. The news calls it an AR 15, but is it an AR-15 air rifle? 1:06 and 1:51 on this video shows the man walking out with the red capped rifle.

A video is also posted here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpn1U_2MLYM

Is that an AR 15 air rifle? If you look it has a red cap on the gun. You can see the red cap in both views.

I was told that the red cap usually signifies an air rifle. An air rifle would make more sense why they had them out where any one could grab it and walk out of the store.

Every gun store owner, gun manufacturer, and gun enthusiast needs to come to states where you’re welcome. The states are a force to be reckoned with and will be stronger if conservative, freedom loving patriots consolidated.

Red cap signifies cap gun and airsoft guns.
Airsoft guns fire plastic pellets.
Stings, can put out an eye, that’s about it.

What’s with the orange tip on the end of the barrel?

Red cap will only shoot blanks. Take it off, and it'll shoot 223 rounds.

I’ve never heard of a gun retailer with this rate of firearm theft.

Something is very wrong here.

Many gun stores, big chains and the little ones, have used long guns on customer accessible racks. New and the more valuable long guns are usually on racks behind the counter. All keep handguns in locked cases.

I don’t know why this store in the article had so many missing firearms. A lifted handgun should be noticed at closing as most stores do a count of the handguns in the glass cases. Most stores keep a watch on the exit door so walking out with a long gun is usually spotted. All long guns on racks or in backroom boxes should be counted monthly.

The feds come down on you if you have too many missing without paperwork.

Paging Agent George Hemmet and Agent Bob Bullard, please come to the front for some dog-shooting.

YES

orange tip means its NOT capable of firing ammo that is used in a “regular” gun.

Airsoft, bee bee, water have orange tips.
