was not even aware they had opened yet. looked like they were doing some remodeling. Sorry to hear this is the welcome they got.

100+ guns stolen Sunday.

Let me guess: thieves used a stolen vehicle and a heavy chain to rip the outer bars off the entrance.

According to chatter on the PSA forum the alarm system didn't activate. Thieves even came back for a second helping.

im not sure, customer in front of me asked them about it and they would not say anything. dozens of cameras. maybe they hired a contractor that ripped them off.

the bars were there when I went. did not look brand new or repaired.

Other than possibly insurance there's practically no sense in that style of bars. Every two bit criminal in every third world country, including the one we're turning into, just hooks a chain to them and whatever vehicle they boosted for the job and then just yanks them off.

Did they cut through a wall? Come through the ceiling?

The bars at the door might be the strongest part of that building. Going through a wall might've been an easier option. A new improvised wall entrance added overnight is what happened to Wateree Arms in Hopkins, if I remember correctly.
