TAMPA (FOX 13) - A mob of brazen burglars stole dozens of weapons from a Tampa gun shop Tuesday morning, after breaking in by driving through the front of the store. Surveillance cameras inside Tampa Arms Co. recorded the crime at about 3 a.m. The video shows a truck driving into the front of the business and, moments later, a swarm of thieves -- wearing masks and dressed alike -- running into the store, stealing about 40 weapons and taking off.

"It seemed to be well-calculated," said Richard Smith, the store's owner, adding he got a call notifying him of the burglary a couple hours later. "He said that they cleaned you out. So I said that I'm on my way." Smith said the majority of the weapons he had out were handguns, shotguns and rifles.

Every FFL I know puts every weapon into large gun safes every night. I thought they all did?

As none of them appear to have worn their trousers below the crack of their ass, I don’t think they were black Americans.

This burglary took a bit of planning and organization, but it had several fatal flaws.

1. It involved too many people. Somebody is going to talk/brag/mumble to someone about it.

2. They did not all wear masks. Poor discipline. Several decent pictures of faces on camera.

3. Poor value for the risk involved. It has national attention and a $10,000 reward. All of the firearms taken are known and traceable. Likely no more street value than $10,000 ($250 per firearm).

The case will be broken and most firearms recovered within the next two months.

Except for that gun store burglary where they wrapped a chain around the steel door and yanked it off.

Blocking vehicle access wouldn’t have helped in that case.

How ya doing guy? I hope all is well.

Laz and I talked about many things in our get together. One of the things that I emphasized was being able to put two eyes on a person and say, “he’s a FReeper. You can trust him.”

Like you and all the couple hundred FReepers we have met during the years it might be needed in a shtf scenario which could be the difference (in many things).

Just sayin.
