    Stolen gun in Lodi

    Anybody hear about a gun collector having his safe stolen in Lodi. I heard about it on KMJ 580 This morning. 2 ton safe w/thousand in guns.
    Let us hope our weapons are never needed --but do not forget what the common people knew when they demanded the Bill of Rights: An armed citizenry is the first defense, the best defense, and the final defense against tyranny. If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns. Only the police, the secret police, the military, the hired servants of our rulers. Only the government -- and a few outlaws. I intend to be among the outlaws."

    Wow... That really sucks. I wonder how they got the safe out and if the safe was bolted down.
    sigpicIf you loan someone twenty dollars and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

        He kept about 50 guns and as much as 2,000 rounds of ammunition in a double-walled, fireproof safe that, when empty, weighed 1,300 pounds. He moved it into a climate-controlled metal and concrete storage unit at U-Haul in Lodi. And he even got a second-floor storage unit for added security.

          Sounds like an inside job or an insurance scam to me.

              Saw it on the news the other day. He claimed to have 50K in loses and the stuff he was talking about didn't seem special or rare. The news showed a shot of him talking about some swords that were stolen and the pics were of those cheap $100 fantasy swords. The story didn't really seem to fit right with me. Why would you spend so much on guns/collectables and keep them at a storage facility that you cannot look after all the time. I understand people not living in a house and having the room but why spend so much just to store it like that?
