    Our local place does that as well....Nothing left in cabinets that can be smashed open and alarmed roller shutters on all windows...Sorry, but this 'seemed' a little too easy...

    You are absolutely right but still we must do our best to make it as dificult as possible for the thieves.

    At a minimum they must have emptied the display cases and stored all guns in a vault or at a minimum a reinforced metal cage. my 2c.

    I'm not impressed. All this does is add to the scrutiny/disdain that firearms owners get on a daily basis.
    Blaming the victim for the actions of criminals is bizarre. If somebody wants to break into your business or home they will, the best you can do is to make it as difficult as possible for criminals.

    I won't speak to the "class" of your comment.

    Canadians have (a) the right of the individual to life, liberty, security of the person and enjoyment of property, and the right not to be deprived thereof.

    Never in doubt, seldom correct.

    Point taken - I would be surprised if they didn't make enhancements to their security controls and procedures after this.

    Bottom line - the guns were stored legally.

    Can you provide the reference from the Firearms Act, pertaining to businesses... Lemme' guess, "no".

    Firearms retailers are NOT required to lock-up guns at the end-of-day in a vault. That's what the bars on the windows are for.

    I'm merely pointing out the obvious: That was no ordinary business and the highest level of security should have been in place. Those firearms will soon be converted into "weapons" for criminals. A liquor store heist ain't the same thing.

    As for billy goat dongs, I reckon that animal could use three of them: Have a look at where that motorbike is parked in front of the windows. No concrete post or barriers of any kind there -- and that's where the crims went in.

    I call that lax security...especially if other gun shops are using vaults for overnight storage on top of first line barriers/alarms.

    You're totally right...

    Armed guards doing foot partol every quarter-hour ought to bring the level of security up to your standards.

    Which is the standard all gun-retailers should follow, right ?

    very sad to hear as i am a member there. Glad no one was hurt in the process(staff, members, or other patrons) Hopefully they catch these guys and recover the stolen firearms. and to those ripping on them, who the hell do you think you are? Like others have said if someone wants your **** they will. Over the centuries, walls and other security structures have been beaten time after time. There literally is no impenetrable security system. People really need to think before they post.
