NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!



Caption specifies this gun as a .45.

[1911fan]

Its not. It's a .38 super pre 60 LTWT

Guess the guy that removed the stock from the .22 rifle couldnt steal a saw to remove the stock for better concealment.

The XD40 is a compact, high-end gun that stores sell for about $500

[VikesFan1]

So, they can melt them all down for about $35 worth of rebar, or, auction them off to law abiding citizens (who WILL BUY GUYS ANYWAY, even if it's not THOSE) for +/- $1,000,000. Seems like the latter makes more sense.

Yeah, looks like it was used for batting practice instead.

That was an M-1 Garrand in that shopping cart,what a waste.

The rifle behind it is a Garrand as well, so there is at least 2. Lots of firearms that if auctioned off could probably keep a cop or five on the beat to get more out of the hands of criminals... The story talked about a Beretta shotgun with a cut barrel and stock that needed to be destroyed due to the modifications. Why not just remove the stock, melt the cut barrel down and then sell the receiver? Talk about the ultimate recycling program!

I think it is a M1A or M14. I don't know of a Garrand that came with a flip up but plate. M1A / M14's did.

Doesn't someone here work for Target and has a job involving security? I think you have a shopping cart you need to demand back, along with the possible merchandise that's shown in this photo.

So many neat and historical firearms... What a waste.

Where is he, he's gotta see this...

[macphisto]

He already did on the other board.

That would be me

I am a bit curious how this cart wound up over there - though that's our old shopping cart design, so it's possible we gave it to them... I dunno

You should organize a raid of their warehouse... all the guns have to be seized too because they were involved in the commission of a theft.
