I once had a firearm(a Krieghoff O/U) stolen at a gun club.. Big one too. I reported it to the police and the gun club president too. Unbelievably a guy shows up a few weeks later shooting it(and showing it off). Well I got a call from the club VP and they had the gun..even paid to have it sent back to my..The guy that took it out of my car was a member..and it cost him his membership..which at the time was passed down from father to son. Don't know what the police did with him..but it was brought to their attention too. Mr 16 is right..we shouldn't blame the person who trusted his fellow members..we should blame the idiot who stole the gun. Nobody carries their rifle with them at the gun club I belong to. They leave it on the bench. Are we too trusting with fellow shooters?? I surely hope not...but it looks as though we may be in certain places
