Who Guards the Guards: 78 Guns Missing From Kentucky Sheriff’s Office

Imagine what would happen if a law-abiding gun owner called the police and said, “I lost 78 guns.” Do you think this would make the news across the United States? Do you think the person would face felony charges? We think so, but yet when this happened to a sheriff’s office in Kentucky, it was barely a blip on the radar.

This followed an alleged burglary reports TheTimesTribune.com:

“The following list contains firearms that are unaccounted for following an examination of the evidence storage, written evidence logs, and documents pertaining to the release of property found at the Whitley County Sheriff’s Department following an alleged burglary which [sic] was reported on December 21, 2009.”

While the article suggests that not all the guns may have been stolen, it is still disturbing to think that criminals could have made off with all these firearms. It also should as a warning to anyone who believes that all illegal firearms begin from legal purchases!
