Thieves......ammo behind the counter at Atwoods.

[OneMoreEvan]

Armed guards are usually told to let shop lifters walk as well.

Yep, I have a buddy that works for a different security company than me, apparently they have a "No pursue, No engage" policy, so they can't approach the thieves or even follow them out of the store to get a license plate number. Makes me glad I'm not retail security.

I used to work at Cabela's in WA and people would take shopping carts full of ammo right out the door to include a few guns.

The one Lacey?

That is the last place I remember not seeing ammo behind the counter around 15 years ago. I was shocked when I went academy here and there was just like an aisle of ammo.

They used to have guns with just trigger locks on the used guns that were displayed on racks in front of the used gun area. Thief would grab an empty soft case throw it in and out the door. No I didn't call the police since I didn't see it with my own eyes. Saw it on the tape when they replayed it for us.

I've bought rifles from cabelas used rack in okc that were sitting on a rack on the floor by themselves . ammo also. I don't really understand why anyone would hire security to do nothing.but I don't understand why that security would watch a theft on camera even after the fact and not do anything either. Unless it's pure laziness not wanting to fill out report papers for police.if Insurance company quit paying for this nonsense and it would probably stop. In my opinion if store saw a gun heist in progress and did nothing they should be charged with supplying firearms to criminals.

Yes, I worked there at the gun counter from about 2015 - 2018. A couple of guns got returned.

Starting with the lower middle one!

Depends on the crime but for some I'd start with the right-hand trigger finger

Retail stores having live security on premises can lower the insurance premiums charged by some insurance companies. It's similar to 'Renters' insurance (depending on location and company) being lower if you have a fire extinguisher, dead bolts, and 100A main circuit breaker in the box on your rental.

I wonder what those at H&H would if you tried to walk out with a gun you were inspecting.
A high dollar gun.

Why is that? No one is locking up any thieves that steal hundreds of dollars worth of anything anymore. In Texas they have announced they will not arrest anyone who takes less that $700 worth of something.

Thats not true, I'm in texas and Wal-Mart with press charges against anyone who lifts over $25 worth of anything.

They can press all the charges they want, but no one is getting locked up for it.

QT has a store where you have to scan a CC to get in - you go in, get what you want, walk out, and it dings your CC. Cameras all over the store. That is what it is coming to, AI and a cashless society.
