I was at a gun show in northern Ohio this past weekend. There was a fairly large crowd. We were checking out the various stuff there and a announcement came over the speaker system "Attention, there has been a gun stolen, the good news is, thanks to a witness, the person has been taken into custody." A big cheer went up that filled the whole building.
Later on I was talking with some of the dealers and was told that the gun that was stolen was a 38, and the same person stole a box of ammo also. Someone had noticed the theft, got the police, and the kid was arrested. The kid turned out to be only 17 years old.
This is the second gun show that I have been at that a gun was stolen. I was at an auction and a gun was stolen there also. Neither of those were solved.
Made me think of the way things are anymore. In this case, he may get a slap on the wrist, unless he has a record, but still, probably won't get much time as he is a minor.
