There's been an upsurge in gunshop robberies...
- stolen cars used
- cars driven thru the front window & even security gate of gunshop
- display etc. guns grabbed quickly - deposited into chase car
- no messing around with lock details, safes, etc. - "smash & grab"
- all gone before alarm/PD response time
This has happened in decades past for sheer theft purposes, but is of a different nature today.
Word has reached me of legit suspicion in LE circles - including BATF - that these may be affiliated with offshoots
of the BLM movement - (And I don't mean the execrable Bureau of Land Management idiots, either.) for "long hot
summer" associated with "political" protests.
[I have some sympathies with some subtexts of the BLM movement's issues as civil rights matters - except they've
chosen poor representatives, champions and people to champion and completely destroyed their mission.]
But this sounds like ultra-left unrest backed by descendants of the old Wobblies, Weather Underground & Red Army
movements - and armed not for protection against any gov't thuggery, but for attacks on voting population.

If you're a gunshop owner...
- rapid alarms, direct to police
- hi-res video recording, hidden cameras, extra 'dud' cameras
- barriers, barriers, barriers! more barriers!
- open store: don't have half-dozen copies of one gun type displayed
- closed store: no more guns in "gun racks" w/just lock rack/security chain
- closed store: no guns left in display cases, regardless if locking
- closing time: ALL guns moved to real vault/safes
- multiple staff required to unlock store/disable alarm
- owners/staff need self-awareness of being followed to/from store
