Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Was over at my local Sportsman's Warehouse a couple of days ago and they were removing some gun racks and putting up shelves. I asked what they were doing and was told they have been losing thousands of dollars in ammunition every month. So they were having to move the premium ammunition behind the counter to help cut down on theft. Like pretty much every other retailer in the country they are not allowed to confront criminals. Hell you go to Walgreens or CVS and at least half the merchandise is in locked cases. It is a sad thing that if a shop owner defends their property it is the owners that are going to jail and not the thieves. 4 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 I just got back from my local Cabelas and they put all the ammunition into a U shaped island. Only one way in or out. I did pick up some Remington #10 caps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbisol shaving cream was behind the counter at Walmart, razors need a key to unlock the case (waiting for an escort to the register next)...lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rough 'N Ready Rob Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Been to Home Depot lately, everything is locked up, maybe not the shovels they would have to work with them. Yes they walk you to the register. I guess that's the new way when you can steal up to a $1,000 and not be put in the slamer. We're paying for it. It's sad. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cholla Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Many places I shop have the ammo out of reach. CAL Ranch is a biggie. I think they get tired of folks opening the boxes and ruining the flaps. Sportsman's Warehouse is one of the few chains that still has it out for all to touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the new “progressive” politics!! When the politicians that infest the legal system refuse to prosecute those who steal and retail companies are forced by insurance companies to prevent their employees from taking measures to prevent theft, while those same politicians cut spending and attack law enforcement, it’s for damned sure political!! 7 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Marauder meant “progressive policies “you know like under $1000 and no jail, also cashless bail etc. These are progressive liberal policies which is not progress at all!
