This is one of the mots embarrassing stories I have read:
A gun store in El Cajon was robbed by three masked suspects armed with a fake gun Friday afternoon, officials confirmed.
The robbery happened around 2:15 p.m. at Hiram’s Guns & Spirits at 660 S. Magnolia Ave.
El Cajon Police said one of the suspects, armed with a replica handgun, held the store’s employee at gunpoint as the two others smashed a display case with a hammer and grabbed several real handguns.
The suspects fled in a red sedan, the employee told 911 dispatchers.
A short time later, El Cajon and La Mesa police officers tried to pull over a car matching the description on Interstate 8.
The vehicle pulled off in La Mesa, and after a few quick turns, the car ran into a dead end off Fletcher Parkway. Multiple police vehicles blocked the car in when the suspects tried to turn around.
Three people — two juveniles and one adult — were arrested after officers searched their car and found the stolen handguns, replica gun and masks, police say.

Are you kidding me? How can the store’s employee at a freaking gun store have no gun on him and no skills or courage to pull it out and shoot these three bastards? This is so embarrassing.
This needs to be a warning for most store owners, you need to make sure that your employees will protect your property, and don’t give me that commie line about “property can be replaced, people can’t.” The criminal you don’t shoot today hurts someone else tomorrow.
Another possibility is that this was an inside job, perhaps a cut of the take was offered. So here’s an idea for gun store owners, besides having visibly armed employees and closed circuit television, let your people know that if they defend the store, they will be rewarded and protected.
Remember that a gun store robbery can be used by the anti-gunners against us, they can result in zoning boards voting against new gun stores, punitive taxation, and lots of other problems.
Hahahahaha that is so funny everyone knows illegal activity is always going on in the store .the owner sells drugs and trades guns for anything of value anyone living in area knows that …must not have paid his drug bill….
Are criminal fronts on Yelp.com?

Rview from Justin M in La Mesa, CA.
“I picked up a nice little Ruger 9mm here. Of course, there is the 10 day wait. I wait the 10 days then go in to pick up my piece. He forgot to process my damned paperwork! Oh, sorry, another 10 days.
So if illegal activity is going on, why make the guy wait 10 days? Seems to me the shop is following California laws. In fact, why call the cops at all unless the guns were insured? Sorry bud, criminals don’t call the cops unless it’s insurance fraud, and even that is tricky.
Crystal meth is used at this store by owners and unless you live out of area you would know that drugs are used there Dumbass….
So let me get this straight, a gun AND booze business that needs to keep records, can get visited by the ATF anytime they want, in gun-hating California, has owners using crystal meth and everybody knows about it. Yeah, right.
