Bummer. Mark is a great guy.
Anyone have anymore info on this? I hope mark can move passed this with his head above the water. He's a good guy. I've made a couple purchases from him. My first and second firearms purchased were through mark. Hope it works out for him.
this is absolutely terrible new. I love his shop and although I am moving away from the area I planned to make a purchase soon and go back whenever I could.
hope it is resolved quickly and he doesn't suffer any blame the victim backlash from the town

I would assume that the firearms were properly stored/secured at the shop. I also think it's moronic of the people posting blaming the store owner for the theft. It's not like he had left the doors unlocked or something. Also, with the crooks cutting the power to the entire building, all they had to do was wait a bit for any UPS/battery backup on the alarm system to deplete in order to break in without issue.
Typical moonbats, blaming the store/owner for the theft.
I hope they catch the crooks, and the owner gets the inventory back in a decent amount of time. Or the insurance covers the replacement cost of what was stolen. I would also hope that the insurance company would pay for an improved security system for the store (and all gun stores for that matter) or give him a serious discount for upgrading it. Of course, an alarm system doesn't mean squat if the place monitoring it doesn't report it going off (which could be the case here).

Comments are pissing me off.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a set of rules in this state for gun stores about what kind of/how much security they need to install? Or is it town to town regulations? Regardless, he followed all applicable security laws/rules for gun stores, I imagine, otherwise the town wouldn't have approved his permit. I can't believe the attitude of these people who always want to string up the victim of a crime for negligence. It's the 'sue McDonalds because their coffee is hot' mentality.

great place, real small but good selection of handguns and shotguns, some rifles as well. ammo, reloading supplies, will try and get anything you need if he can
I dont think he has had as much stock as usual lately just like every place else. but I enjoy the shop very much
heard about this today and was shocked. Mark is awesome. Bought my pistol and shotgun form him, and whenever he gets his next shipment of SR22s, the wife is gonna buy one..... I actually picked up my shotgun friday night from him too
Mark reopened yesterday and true to his word, had the last LC9 on hold for me from the week prior. His wife did the paperwork and was ten times smoother than any other gun experience I have had. While it is not that big of a place, you never feel cramped in there because all the people (staff and customers) are there to support a small business. Strongly suggest you check his place out.
Looks like they were putting in one bitchin door when I went by today. I got to stop and visit with him. I go by his shop everyday on my way home.
This is terrible news. Mark and his wife are fantastic!! I've bought two shotguns and my AR-15 from Mark (and the AR was $60 cheaper than four seasons at the time!!!)
I wasn't planning to make another purchase soon, but after this news I guess I'll have to go bite the bullet and support him![[smile]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/001.gif "Smile [smile]")

Holy shit that really sucks! Like everyone else said, Mark & his wife are great, the store is small but always packed and he makes everyone feel welcome. I just left him a voice mail too for something unrelated... wish I had seen this thread prior, I would've left him alone for a bit. I hope he didn't lose much and that the bastards get caught.
