Who Guards the Guards: Gallaway Police Guns Gone Away

MyFox News in Memphis reported that several police issued shotguns have gone away in Gallaway, Tenn. The news site noted that the City of Gallaway if offering a $500 reward for information on the guns. The crime seems particularly brazen:

 ”Saturday between 12:00 pm and 7:00 pm, someone threw a brick through a window of the unoccupied police department. The burglar unlocked a door through the broken window and kicked in another door. After gaining entry to the building, the suspect stole several Remington 12-gauge shotguns and a taser gun.”

What makes this noteworthy again is that it shows to what lengths criminals will go to get guns. This wasn’t a straw purchase or anything done through a gun show loophole. This was a clear cut issue of criminals stealing guns, and now being armed.
