“Hey Jose, do we rather go to one hundred houses to steal guns or do we rather go to one place where they are “safely stored?”
“Shit Juan, I don’t know. Lemme think about it for a while and I’ll call you back.”
When I originally read the article, I went: “Yep, that worked real well.” But a couple of things were bothering me: It happened at a “private” range in a Government Sports Center in Spain (imagine something like an Olympic Village where you can vacation.) I checked the range’s website and it has only 5 lanes…what? The article mentions that all the handguns were KH HK and only the same model as Law Enforcement uses in Spain and that they have so many because they “rent them.” The range also has classes, actually one class… on police handgun training.
Did Bad Guys broke into a Police Range armory and stole their guns?
OK people, stop laughing now.
Damn it Miguel, now my phone is covered in soda. If they actually robbed a police range, that has got to be one of the ballsiest successful robbery attempts I’ve heard of.
Given the stories of police officers being negligent with their sidearms and how many police-issue weapons and accessories end up on the criminal market, if I was going to try and get my hands on a stolen gun I’d target police officers.
…all the handguns were KH and…..
Heckler & Koch pistolas?
Oh God… thanks for the catch!
Faaak, for a second I thought there was another slurr for H&K guns that fit the initials K und H.
Somebody come up with that so we can all start calling them KH guns!
ROTFLMAO! That IS ballsey!!!
