Good thing gun control works.

Show promoters too cheap to provide security?

[RightGeek]

Interesting choice. The $ per lbs of ammo is lower than firearms but ammo is a lot easier to fence

Check with the USPS. Heard they were running low.

100,000 Rounds of Ammo Stolen From Gun Show In South Carolina

Partner, I ain't going to tell ya but 2 of my friends have that exact amount in their back yard, but they did not steal their ammo.

There was a gun show overnight at a “Jamil Temple”?

DHS bought 2 billion rounds in 2012 -13!! And 3500 armoires personell carriers. Why are they not using on the border and Chicago. This is nothing!!

I have a new Carhartt Briscoe Cargo Vest with fifteen pockets on it but I don’t think it could handle that many rounds.

Don’t you just love it when you see garbage reporting like this? “100,000 rounds of ammunition stolen!” How in hell do they come up with this “even number” of rounds stolen when they have no idea what the count was in the first place? One thing for sure........it scares the hell out of the peace lemmings here in America and helps the march toward total gun control, ammunition control and thought control.

I'm a gun nut and I'm always surprised at the easy pickings at shows. Vendors come in from all over with trailers that are secured with a padlock. Then they're surprised when someone steals their stuff from the hotel parking lot.

This isn't the 60s anymore. You can't leave the keys in your car, doors unlocked, or keep guns and ammo in Uhaul trailers overnight.

3 months worth. No biggie.
