Exactly what I was thinking. You need to 86 those friends you can't trust.
Are all gun stores this lax about security?

There are a couple of local shops that have the doors that open inward, so that you have to pull the thing (and its a heavy pull) to get out. Another shop uses the "airlock" principle, and a third allows you in without problem, but has to buzz you out. The place I like is at the back of a pawn shop, so anybody doing a snatch-and-run has to get past the jewelry case (natural choke point) before the front door is remotely closed and locked. Some have tried, none have succeeded to date.
Used to have a shop just down the street from me, local PD liked to stop by and check things out, until one fellow tried to rob the place (after trying to kick the owners dog, not a smart move). Needless to say, crossfire was the operative term (and the dog was ready to take a rather vital portion of the fellows anatomy as a souvenier). And the fellow walked by the officer's cruiser to boot.

Well...it sounds like a lot of other gun stores have better security than this place. I was there again this morning, playing with a $900 Colt 1911. The guy handed it to me and then literally left the room...there was one other guy behind the counter, but he was too busy to watch me. I think the first guy forgot I even had it by his reaction when I gave it back 10 minutes later. I could have been half way home with it and they wouldn't even have noticed...
I can't even look at a digital camera in a store without guards, cameras, alarms, etc. Something tells me this place hasn't been robbed...yet.

simple theft changes to armed robbery the second that the bad guy picks up a gun... lethal force would be more than justified...
former friend of mine is currently serving a 25 to life sentence because he robbed an occupied house and one of the items he took was a gun... instant armed home invasion charge...
When I worked for the a FFL the rule was, if they open fire, return it, if they try to take anyone in a back room or with them by force, open fire.
Other wise don't let anyone see it.
Seemed very reasonable to me. When I left there in 30+ years of being open they never had a gun leave the store unless it was paid for.( theft, misplaced, etc.)

So leave an unloaded gun out where the intruder can find it and don't start shooting until he picks it up
