    Just got the message this morning from a friend that another local shop was just robbed by a vehicle smashing through the front of the store. This came after two other shops had the same incident happen, including one shop being hit twice. Thus far, Arm’s Merchant, C&S Gun Parlor, and FITS were all hit.

    Not good.
    Thanks for the information.

    I seen that C&S recently put up some yellow poles in front to keep people from driving through their door but did not realize that they were hit already. I had heard about Arms Merchant being hit. Think I read that on here actually.

    Happened two days ago. They rammed the bollards multiple times until they were able to run them down. I'm surprised the vehicle was still able to move after that.

    I’d surmise that it’s the same people doing this.
    Running a vehicle into a building is a very specific modus operandi.

    Hope they’re caught because folks like this don’t stop once they get success.

    This sucks! I hate it for the businesses affected, and the fact these firearms will obviously get into the wrong hands. Is there any way to find out what firearms and possibly even serial numbers were stolen, that way we could be on the lookout as a community to help catch these thieves?

    I was at FITS on Friday buying an M&P9 2.0

    They had some guys in there repairing the damage.

    Was actually on my way to C&S when a buddy of mine told me they got hit.
