I have a novel idea, why not carry handguns?? Forgive me, not acceptable in DelMarva!!
Amazing how people in this area near Potomac Mills leave their car parked and unlocked or stuff withinsight…
Most of you have a trunk…use it to store stuff….
People keep your handguns in a safe secure location! Your Car does not Qualify if you are not in it! My friends handgun was stolen from his car about a year or two back and his gun ended up in philly and killed a cop in a resturant! It might even get you killed be careful pls.
The real crime here is lack of reporting or the lack of getting all of the facts. I man is accused of trying to steal tub and shower fixtures and all we got is age, height and build. So was he clear? There is no white, black, asian, cuban, I mean nothing else to go on. Is this some sort of joke?
Two guns stolen from a vehicle and no sign of forced entry.
The crime is someone so irresponsible as to leave two guns lying around in an unlocked vehicle, not that a locked vehicle would have been much better because all anyone needs to do is smash a window to get into a vehicle.
I wonder how this person will feel when these guns are used in crimes or perhaps someone’s death.
