There’s no point in having a boatload of cool guns if they’re locked up:
Robbers attacked an elderly gun collector in his western Pennsylvania home and escaped with an arsenal of 31 firearms, at least 14 of which are still missing.
Three armed men wearing masks kicked in the door of the 71-year-old man’s house in Sharon, 75 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, at around 12:30 a.m. Wednesday and took firearms including an AK-47, handguns, rifles, shotguns, other semi-automatic weapons, ammunition and historic pistols, police chief Michael Menster said Thursday.
The robbers tied the gun collector up, ransacked his house and locked him in a closet. They also stole a television and stereo. When they left, the man was able to escape and call 911, Menster said.
I have no problem with guns being locked up, but if you have guns for defensive uses CARRY THEM! If you have a collection of cool guns, buy a mundane one and a decent holster for protecting them and your own life!
It’s a sad story when a man’s home is invaded, he’s tied up and his stuff is stolen when a simple LCP in his pocket could have prevented all of it!
