Time to break out the Mosins with affixed bayonets. If the bayonet doesn't scare away the looters, the 5 foot muzzle flash surely will.Yup. You can really only operate 1-2 guns at most per operator.

150 Firearms Stolen From Albuquerque Gun Shop During Looting
“Perhaps gun shop owners across the country should take matters into their own hands, and have an active presence outside of their businesses. Or maybe the ATF can just call this Faster & Furiouser.”

One of my vendors told me today that 30 of his accounts had their stores robbed this week , that’s one salesman , if he alone had
30 of his customers broken into I can imagine the numbers are probably higher in total Nationwide

As S. Philly gun store owner kills potential looter, customers line up for firearms at other dealers
Like many gun store owners these days, Gregory Isabella spent the night in his South Philly shop on guard after previous break-in attempts.
He was ready when, about 4:15 a.m. Tuesday, a group of four men cut the lock and kicked in the door at Firing Line Inc. on the 1500 block of South Front Street. Isabella, 67, told police he was on the second floor when he heard them approach. He then shot and killed one of the alleged looters.
By day, hundreds of residents wait in long lines for hours to buy guns, often their first. By night, gun shop owners say they are the new targets of burglars and thieves.
Isabella "heard them walking up the steps, and one of the individuals who broke into the property pointed a handgun at him,” Philadelphia Police Inspector Scott Small told Fox 29. “And that’s when the store owner fired his own weapon, striking the one perpetrator at least one time in the head.”
Police said the weapon Isabella discharged was a Bushmaster M4 rifle. They also said officers recovered a black handgun believed to be carried by the man Isabella shot.
Medics pronounced the man dead at the scene, and the other individuals ran away, Small said. Isabella was not injured. Police did not identify the dead man.
Reached by phone Tuesday, Isabella told a reporter, “No comment. Don’t call here again,” and hung up.
Small said an individual arrived at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital with a gunshot wound to his shoulder shortly after the incident, and said it was a “possibility” the person was connected to the burglary attempt.
No arrest was made, but an investigation is ongoing, according to police. Assistant District Attorney Joanne Pescatore was spotted at the crime scene.
During a news conference Tuesday afternoon, Mayor Jim Kenney and Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said that while they respect the rights of business owners to protect their property, they were disturbed to hear that a business owner shot and killed a potential burglar.
“We do not endorse or condone any form of vigilante justice or taking the law into one’s own hands,” Outlaw said.
Kenney described himself as “deeply troubled” by the death.
But across the city, gun store owners say they are sleeping inside their shops after break-in attempts.
William H., who did not want his last name used, saying he feared becoming an “antifa target,” owns Founding Fathers Outfitters on Ridge Pike in Montgomery County. He, and usually another employee, have slept in his store since early Sunday, when, he said, six people tried to break into his gun shop.
At 12:59 a.m. Sunday, his surveillance cameras captured video of six men, all in masks, trying to break in. One had a baseball bat and tried to bash in the front glass door. The glass shattered in a spider-web-like shape, but did not break. A man behind him held a hammer.
“They wanted to do a smash and grab,” William H. said. “Take a hammer and smash the cases and grab what they wanted. Unfortunately for them, we lock every firearm in a safe.” They never got in the store.
