Gun lovers public service announcement: While I was in a Texas gun
store today, my car was tagged on the wheel in the parking lot.
The gangs do this on wheels or bumpers at gun stores, shooting ranges,
gun shows etc. Later when you are parked at a restaurant, hotel, or
other location that’s less well guarded or under video surveillance,
other gang members spot the marker and break into the car for a quick
gun grab.
This is so RAMPANT in San Antonio where we were for a National shoot
this summer, the Sheriff of Bexar County came out to brief the 400
participants of our competition.
Too bad three teams had already been victimized the first day. This is
the first I’ve heard of this in Texas.
Please pass this info along to your 2nd amendment list. Daily check
your car, truck or motor home for unusual painted dots, marks, check
marks or other strange looking symbols that are not normal to your type
vehicle.
It could prevent you from being a victim of robbery, or even save your
life if you catch the thief in the act.
This next comment from a Gun Site instructor:
I don’t know how widespread this is becoming, but the info regarding
the NSCA Nationals in San Antonio is correct, as all of us who compete
in sporting clays know.
Competitors there were having their vehicles marked with a small
adhesive dot on the rear license plate or rear bumper, then followed for
miles and having their vehicles quickly and efficiently broken in to
when parked for lunch etc.
Some crews were working the parking lot at the Nationals itself. 27
high end shotguns were taken there recently. They know when 1400
shooters with high $$ competition guns are in town.
BTW I shot with a young man who was trying out a new gun at the
Nationals. He and his father lost all their guns and equipment while
making a quick stop for lunch at a BBQ place in Corpus Christi the month
before.
