Excellent point, if they’ve been able to do some back-alley networking and get some fencing grapevines going. I’d definitely keep my eyes on pawn shops, too, although they’ve been hit pretty good, and you’d run the risk of getting your kneecaps broken (or worse) if you accidentally tried to unload your stash to a local broker who might happen to have owned what’s in the back of your car. That, buddy, is known as ‘karma’. LOL
A friend told me tonight that the gun shops in his area are targets, according to the LEO.
I do not think they’re stealing them to sell.
