Burglars forced their way into the secured Contra Costa County sheriff's lot in Martinez and ransacked several patrol cars and stole weapons between Monday night and Tuesday morning, said sheriff's Capt. Daniel Terry.Ah...more "guns on the street" via the Police Cruiser Loophole, I see...
Three Colt semi-automatic assault rifles and a Remington shotgun were taken from cars parked at a lot in the 1900 block of Muir Road, location of the agency's field operations and investigative divisions. [More]
And from a "secured lot," no less.
Good thing they don't make "Only Ones" leave their guns in their cars parked in open lots when they go to restaurants that serve alcohol--like many states require of just us folks...
Be funny if they got 'em back at a turn-in. It'd be one of the few times the term "buy back" was accurate.

Probely going to wait until osamaobama get into office and bans ASW's then they will sell them to law abiding citizens and make more money
ReplyDeleteI do believe that those are the very people who state that anyone who cannot secure his weapon should not be allowed to have weapons and the sheriff makes sure that they don't.
ReplyDeleteOk, sheriff, time to pony up. Take the weapons away from your men who did not secure them from theft. Oh, and make sure they can never legally carry a weapon again in their lifetime in California.
Opaww, I think your idea has some merit, know any qualified burglars?
ReplyDeleteMexico bound?
ReplyDeleteDavid is this a new story, another case of this, or the one I saw a while back? I can't get to the story, getting some "domain mismatch" warning thing I've never seen before.
What I want to know is whether the transferee answered "n" instead of "no", or "y" instead of "yes", on question 12 on Form 4473--because, as we know, this makes all the difference in the world.
ReplyDeleteLook at the bright side: the ATF can always ask the corrupt Mexican police if they saw the guns, and to kindly return them if so.
Tom, the story is dated yesterday, and I link internally to a similar but different story from December.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why you can't access it--I just tested the link and it worked for me.
Otherwise, go to MercuryNews.com and look for the story "Investigation into stolen Contra Costa sheriff weapons leads to West Oakland."
I'll search.
ReplyDeleteFYI, It's coming up as a domain name mismatch and trying to establish a connection with "secure.waronguns.blogspot.com" If you're logged in you might not get it?
strange.
OK, the story is related to the other one you (or someone else) had. I was starting to wonder if this was going to be the next big thing.
tom, this is a DNS problem with your service provider or possibly your cable/DSL modem. call 'em up.
ReplyDeleteAnd from a "secured lot," no less.
ReplyDeleteI think they mean "secured" in the Air Force sense -- not the Army sense.
Of course, it could also be an interpreter vs. translator problem. We seem to get a lot of those with cops, politicians and journalists.
There's chewy goodness in there!
