Local news reports Several rifles were stolen from a Columbus business.I have some information. Gun shops should have reinforced glass that cannot easily be breached. They should also have their merchandise secured in proper gun safes that cannot easily be compromised.
Police officials told the newspaper a passerby noticed around 6:30 a.m. that glass was broken at Peddler Firearms, 1630 Home Ave.
The business owner said long guns were taken after the thieves cut locks securing the weapons.
Columbus police officials told the newspaper they’re eager to get the weapons off the streets because they are “extremely dangerous in the wrong hands.”
The missing weapons include:
Anyone with information is asked to call police.
- Mosin/Nagant, 91/30, 7.62 mm rifle
- Mosin/ Nagant, 91/30, 7.62 mm rifle
- TGI, Romanian AK-47, 7.62 mm rifle
- CAI, Yugoslavian SKS, 7.62 mm, rifle
- Rock River Arms, AR-15, 5.56 mm rifle
- Stag Arms, AR-15, 5.56 mm rifle
- Mossberg, 715T, .22 caliber rifle
Gun shops, like individual gun owners, need to be more responsible for the security of their guns. Failure to do this should be a crime.
