There is a reward out for the culprits that stole a bunch of guns stolen from a UPS facility in Springfield that were being shipped to Bass Pro Shops.  Pretty brazen theft.

wow looks like they are trying to calm people that this wasn't a group seeking to arm for nefarious reasons....wonder if any AR type weapons where in that shipment???

Sounds like an inside job. Somebody had the tracking information of the guns or something else of value going through the facility and knew when to go. 

And since when are UPS facilities not monitored with some sort of security system or cameras? They can’t even tell when it happened. Come on.

Hard to say, need to look at sale bill next week to see for sure what was in shipment.  Could have been a range of rifles to handguns.

yup..I agree someone took out the cameras sounds a whole lot less random, and more surgical..that in its self is scary

Has anyone near Springfield seen any reports of this?  I did pick this off a news feed.  You would think someone would be squealing about it locally.

I guess it could happen any where.  Any major retailer could be a target around Black Friday, hunting season, or anytime they send out a major flyer.  Just jog down to UPS with a forklift and load up a few days before.

The federal government is offering a 25k reward for info.  Not UPS?    Really?    How many guns are "mysteriously" gone ?  Why are WE paying for info when these shipments are undoubtedly insured.    

I hate these games.

If you understood the game, you wouldn't hate it. 

Paying for the info has nothing to do with the insurance payment on the merchandise. 

Holy cow! 

[jdmidwest]

Yep.  That is a lot of guns that could end up in the wrong hands.  The reward has nothing to do with insurance.

I am wondering why this shows up in a Nationwide gun blog, but not in local news?
