On December 2, 2019, Humboldt Gun and Pawn FFL, 712 N 22nd Avenue, Humboldt, was burglarized where approximately 8 firearms were reported stolen to the Humboldt Police Department.

Forgiven yes but trusted or respected, no. We all know about Ruby Ridge. We all know about Waco. We all know how the atfe and it’s… Read more »

Call at your own risk. First thing that will happen is that YOU WILL be investigated and if ATF thinks they have an inkling of making a case against you, since they won’t actually catch the gun store thief, you’ll get a knock at your door and most likely have your residence searched.

It appears that the only time a stolen gun will ever be recovered is when it surfaces in a crime.
It’s only a matter of time. How did these weapons come to be stolen?
The Tuscaloosa, AL. Woods & Water was broken into and had 1 person in custody, if I remember right. I think there was 80 something stolen from this place. The person here was responsible for another but don’t recollect where i was.
