Heading to Chicago? I am SHOCKED!
Collector and shooter of guns and other items that require a tax stamp, Lead and brass scrounger. Never too much brass, lead or components in inventory! Always looking to win beauty contests with my reloads.
I think law enforcement did a good job. They recovered most of the stolen guns, made an arrest and identified another suspect.
Saw this on MSN tonight. Supposedly only a few guns were sold and the rest recovered. Score one for the good guys. Now all they have to do is get the person or persons who worked in that facility. Frank
Some how this mess will likely blow back against law abiding gun owners through increased usurious HAZMAT and transportation fees for firearms and reloading components. This is how the Liberals work.
If it was easy, anybody could do it.
Wasn't it UPS that got us all started in the high-priced, overnight delivery, controlled delivery scam many years ago. Seems that they were losing multiple volumes of Glock pistols from shipments and suddenly the whole world had to pay higher shipping costs to cover the extraordinary security measures UPS was going to initiate to keep this type of thing from happening again. Once UPS found the golden egg the other freight carriers followed suit with higher prices. Then again, Memphis is a different world than the rest of Tennessee. Their crime rate is so heavy they make the rest of the state look bad. There's plenty of blame to go around these days but theirs is justified.
Even if this turns out to be an inside job, and the jury is still out on that, UPS as an entire company isn't to blame for the criminal actions of a few employees.
There aren't enough details at this time to know how the initial theft was accomplished. It wouldn't be too difficult for a criminal group to conduct surveillance outside a gun manufacturer and simply note which truck or trailer was loaded at that facility. They've got trailer numbers and license plates and you know exactly where the distribution hub is located. With a little bit of effort you could map out what day of the week and time of the day the shipments left the factory. After that you simply hijack or steal the appropriate truck.
Companies like UPS and FedEx move a tremendous amount of products. They do not want to get a reputation of losing shipments due to internal theft.
My guess is that if it was an inside job, UPS will cooperate fully with the investigation in order to protect their reputation. And, there's a chance that UPS employees were not involved at all.
This is not a case of someone stealing A package with A gun. This was the theft of an entire shipment from the factory en-route to a wholesaler. This is a little more organized theft.
I wouldn't call it a conspiracy either but it does look like a larger, more organized effort.

I still want to know what a 'ruger caliber' gun is.

There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!
Evidence of an uninformed reporter turned loose with a large audience and editing by a supervisor who was no more informed.

Political correctness is a national suicide pact.
I am a sovereign individual, accountable
only to God and my own conscience.
Any time firearms are involved in story you can bet the farm that the press will screw it up.
Years ago a reporter mentioned a 40 millimeter pistol. Recoil must have been ferocious!

I am not crazy my mom had me tested

Has to be a mistake, everyone knows they would be illegal in Chicago so they just COULDN'T be going there!
Statistics show that criminals commit fewer crimes after they have been shot
I am absolutely SHOCKED that something like this could even happen in the People's Republik of Chicago!
Obviously, the NBC press put as much effort in to this story to verify facts and at least try to sound somewhat intelligent as they do in all of their usual "fake news". Stories like this will be turned around on to the gun companies and law abiding citizens that it is their fault for all the gun violence in Chicago. That said . . . .
I'm looking to buy a good used set of "Ruger caliber" dies . . . anyone have a set they want to part with?
Remember what Forrest Gump's mother said . . "sometimes you just can't fix stupid!"
I'm glad that LE nailed 'em . . . now let's see what the wishy washy leftist judges do as far as sentencing when the time comes to send a message that gun running to the criminal element in Chicago won't be tolerated. Want to make a bet on how that goes?
My favorite is the Glock Service Revolver
That looks like an exact clone of an Asperly!
