Camarillo Gun Store Robbery 7/1/24

[Tim padilla]

My good buddy Karlton at Camarillo Gun Store was robbed around 4 am this morning. Terrible to hear, him and his family are solid members of the Ventura County community.
looks like it was a smash and grab. They took a stolen sedan and busted out the front door area. Details are limited but sounds like they took around 40 firearms . They fled in another sedan . 4-5 men were involved. Makes my blood boil .
Please support these guys when they reopen . They have an amazing inventory and great staff.

I hate to tell anyone how to run their business, but you'd think these places would install bollards in front of their doors to prevent exactly this type of thing. This exact method of robbery has happened numerous times in CA. Hopefully it's not landlords preventing this type of thing.

As I watch the feeds roll in on a daily basis at work, the new trend seems to be 'Stolen Hyundai used to smash through front door/wall of gun store. Lotsa weapons stolen by organized group. Group flees in another stolen import.' The Hyundais are EASY to steal due to a well know ignition lock defect. They make great one-time battering rams. Dirtbags are in/out in minutes. This will be the new normal until CommieFornia punishes the Gun store owners for their malfeasance & passes new (and financially onerous) requirements to operate.
California Hates You.

Yep. Every gun store in America should have concrete/steel bollards in the front and back of the store. Not just california. Because if all the california gun stores have them, the bad guys just move on to the next closest state and do the same thing.

Thieves in this state stole a forklift from a nearby trucking company and used it to batter their way into gun shop.

Just happened to my LGS: Thieves ransack Ventura County gun store | KTLA

And the bad guys are headed to Los Angeles....who would have expected.

This is a local gun store with a great staff and inventory. Hope the local city doesn't try to shut them down.

Love in my local NextDoor (Camarillo) there was talk about who was probably responsible for this robbery and someone posted, "Gascon's Kids".
Keep in mind that being LA adjacent, Camarillo is about 70% Commie and 30% Americans and this was a bunch of Commie anti-2A people in the NextDoor thread
but at least one poster had the guts to call out the likely perps. Gave me a good laugh.

I'm sure Cam Gun Store has great insurance and this will be covered, and they undoubtedly have good security cam footage and that their loyal clientele will be back in force tomorrow.
Hopefully VCSD can nail these specimens but with it being Commifornia, they'll likely just get a slap on the wrist and will be released too soon.

The SO will probably nab these fools. Unfortunately a lot of the crime in VC can be attributed to LA dirt bags. There was just a robbery in Thousand Oaks, old man and woman were beaten and robbed, the SO with the assistance of CHP and LASD got them all. Couple 18 yr olds and 3 minors. At least VCSO will still do whatever possible to catch and hold accountable these dirt bags.

Don't think there is a safe large enough:
