Those of you that think that the store has no responsibility for the theft itself, I agree.  They did not make the thieves come & steal from them. BUT, the store owner has a responsibility to the insurance co. to protect assets from getting stolen. What will the insurance company have to say about it. The store owner has a responsibility to protect the merchandise from theft to the best of their ability. Their responsibility to the public is especially true to ensure any firearms that they have on site will not fall into the wrong hands. Granted they can't stop people that buy the guns legally from killing their wives/husbands, but they can make it difficult for the guns to be stolen & used to kill me. What does it mean "to the best of their ability"? My thought: (1) someone should have to drive a car into the store not throw a rock at it to get in, (2) someone should not be able to break the case open with that rock, & (3) it takes more than seconds to grab it all. Wake up people!
