Prophet River Firearms is moving

[Prophet River]

To see a firearms business flourish in 2021 Canada does my heart good. The optimism and commitment towards the business going forward is obvious in the pictures. Even better that is it so close to home.

Congratulations on your success !

We hope to see you here soon. A few more pictures as we start to get the cabinets organized for installation :

Great to see this coming together.

I don't want to be negative, but I hope there will be some kind of deterrent to stop someone from crashing through the front doors.

Best of luck.

I actually 100% agree with that. My local range here in AB had a truck with essentially a hitch mounted harpoon back through two sets of security doors and rip them right out. Stole around 50 handguns and a ton of high end scopes and stuff. Now they have a fully blocked off front entrance So that doesn’t happen again.

You're not being a negative, that's being a realist. Someone crashed a vehicle through the front entrance of the local pharmacy building as part of a robbery in the small town of Mundare, about an hour east of Edmonton, a couple of weeks back. If that can happen there, it would be prudent to have anti-vehicular passive defenses at any business with merchandise worthy of a literal smash and grab anywhere in Canada, especially at a firearms retailer.

It will not happen here. We are just hanging the front gate today(tomorrow?) but the metal 'pipes' you see are hydrovacced down 16 feet and the holes are full of concrete and rebar. There are three guarding the front door.

We don't 'mess' when it comes to security. Of course, many of the security features will not be disclosed publicly.

I'd recommend something for your roof too. More and more businesses are getting hit through the ceiling.

That has been done too but we will not disclose those measures.
Also, we have a vault completely enclosed in 320,000 lbs of concrete that would have to be breached in order to steal any firearms.

‘Tis the season… perfect time to watch Home Alone for security system ideas!

As if I needed any more reasons to like you guys and gals.

So much nicer that the faux leather we use now on the gunrack.
