Shooters Beware! Public Service Announcement

This message / public announcement was emailed to me by an AH member to post... Not sure if it is true but worth posting!

I have not heard of this happening in Utah, Washington or Oregon but it is a good thing to be aware of.

From a friend who belongs to a Denver gun club:

While I was in a Denver gun store today, my car was tagged on the wheel in the parking lot. The gangs do this on wheels or bumpers at gun stores, shooting ranges, gun shows etc. Later when you are parked at a restaurant, hotel, or other location that's less well guarded or not under video surveillance, other gang members spot the marker and break into the car for a quick gun grab. This is so RAMPANT in San Antonio where we were for a National shoot this summer, the police chief of that county came out to brief the 400 participants of our competition. Too bad three teams had already been victimized the first day. This is the first I've heard of this in Denver. Please pass this info along to your 2nd amendment list.

I don't know how widespread this is becoming, but the info regarding the NSCA Nationals in San Antonio is correct, as all of us who compete in sporting clays know. Competitors there were having their vehicles marked with a small adhesive dot on the rear license plate or rear bumper, then followed for miles and having their vehicles quickly and efficiently broken in to when parked for lunch etc. Some crews were working the parking lot at the Nationals itself.

Twenty-seven (27) high end shotguns were taken there recently. They know when 1400 shooters with high $$ competition guns are in town. BTW I shot with a young man who was trying out a new gun at the Nationals. He and his father lost all their guns and equipment while making a quick stop for lunch at a BBQ place in Corpus Christi the month before.

Please be aware that other could target you because of your affiliation with the National Guard or a gun club or store.

Jerome,

This is really not that uncommon, (if criminals would put these talents to work for them like this they could be in politics), but here in central Missouri, when I was still in Law enforcement, there was a Black van occupied 2 times by (ethnic race with held) that were targeting law enforcement offices. That's right, they would cruise around and find LEO's vehicles parked in the driveway's of they personal residence, when the patrol car was gone, that meant the officer was gone. After the perpetrators were caught, they told us that they know cops have guns and just waited for them to leave, then broke in. I thought it was interesting, because most of the guys with the Sheriffs Dept I worked for had wives that could outshoot them. Guess the bad guys didn't consider that, but, they had broken into several LEO's houses before capture.

Just another reason I think gun control is a crock of shit, because regardless of what laws are passed, to make it harder to LEGALLY obtain a firearm, the bad guys have not, will not and never will abide by the same law we do. They will get and possess illegal guns until the day they die, at the ripe old age of 22 yoa.

In a way we mark our own vehicle with stickers, NRA, NAHC, Bowhunter mag, SASS, choose any acronym.

I say, "Mark my tires and follow me, come on follow me.... Old painless is waiting"
