are a pitiful lot, when it comes to their understanding of culture and history. There are some few good'uns locally -- here'n there. But National Level Suckage, is for the most part, Im-Proper-Gander Squealings for the Left. We are fortunate in NW Ohio to have some real Aces, that still persist in American Values. There must be more of then in other locales, but at the Nat'l Level, watching the News Interpretation of events is a more noxious event than cleaning out the old outhouse pit.

[Yes, I have done that. My hometown of 750 farming souls still had functioning outhouses until I was in High School. Then some idiot County Schlub decreed them to be shut down. We had real plumbing, but when y'r dirty and and muddy and sweating and in boots, ithe auld building beat getting into the house past a woman wwho had just scrubbed the Kitchen floor!]

Anywayz, Happy Monday Morn. My joints are lube'd with enough coffee and meds to head out to Ye Auld House Renovation -- the choice today is finish painting the front wall, or set up to re-rust proof the tin roof. The chessies told me boh are a bad choice, and why aren't we on a River some wheres? Soon as it too cold to paint, my canine friends, we'll "be gone!"

The Best of the Best Season to Y'all, and may it bring a Good Harvest.

All they have to do is talk to other departments up and down the I-35 corridor. It is an old M.O. dating back ten years or so. Steal two vehicles, use one to crash into a building the other to get away hauling the loot. Abandon one at the scene, the other at the transfer point. Sometimes they ram pharmacies, convenience stores with ATM machines, or gun stores. It is a gang. The police know which one, but can't catch them in the act.

Around St. Louis County, MO, EVERY gun shop had to have bollards and barred windows and doors. Even with that, many put the bulk of inventory into safes every night.

Ditto! (reply)

It is just the two of us in the shop, and very often just one of us working. We have over 150 pistols on display, and likely 50-60 long guns. Would take the better part of two hours to get all that in the vault.

For even a small store with one or two employees/workers (reply)

in a day the safe approach doesn't work well and it is next to impossible to make a building a safe. One just does the best one can and gets good insurance.

The core of security.

"Sorry Bill and Karen (not their real names), I made my house just a bigger PITA than yours."

Not that I won't watch and help defend their place. But, if they come here, I want to make them think there might be easier pickin's somewhere else.

The The Outdoorsman has survived many break in attempts in Sunnyslope AZ, one of the worst parts of Phoenix, due to heavy layers of defense. One doesn't have to be impregnable, just a harder nut to crack than your neighbors

the owners need to wise up (reply)

Many years ago I went into a small store. They had planted some large pieces of pipe in front of the store like fenceposts. Their theory was that if someone tried to drive a truck into the store, the police would find the smashed truck setting in front of the store the next morning.

I've known other stores that would put their guns in the big safe at night. Maybe this isn't practical for a large store.

Bears repeating...

Whew. When I first saw that I misread that as Texas Gun Shop (reply)

As in the Texas Gun Shop in Corpus Christi.

My following thought was "somebody just pooed in their chili".

I hear tell that bear can be a bit surly when poked.

A dead man was found floating in the small river that partially separates our county from the one to the south of us.

That county's Sheriff opined to the newsgal that "The cause of death appears to be of a suspicious nature."

The next day, the coroner reported that the cause was a couple of "large caliber bullet holes in the deceased's torso."

Dad and I agreed that this cause definitely sounded suspicious.

Maybe the Fast & Furious guns have dried up and a new supply chain developed...

Robbers ram Texas gun store with truck & steal 100 guns, still at large
Suspects are still at large after storming a Texas gun store by ramming it with a truck, and making it out with nearly 100 handguns and assault rifles. They were caught on CCTV footage. Police still don’t know the thieves’ motives.

The smash-and-grab occurred in the city of Plano, on W. 15th Street, at around 3:45 a.m. on Wednesday, according to NBC.

The robbery appears to have taken mere seconds, as the pick-up truck rammed the door and the robbers jumped out, snatching everything they could get their hands on.

The amount of firearms taken could be as high as 93, according to several local sources, although ATF agents are performing an inventory to determine the exact quantity and type of the weapons.

By Wednesday afternoon, the owners and employees were trying to patch up the gigantic hole left by the truck the robbers had used. Reporters received no comment from the victims.

Three days later, no theories or information are being offered by the police. They have posted a $10,000 reward for any information leading to the apprehension of the robbers.
