Last Friday, an HK MP5 machine gun was stolen from LoneStar Handgun, a shooting range in Bexar (that’s pronounced “bear,” like the furry animal that poops in the woods and flies space ships with Han Solo in Star Wars) County, Texas. According to the KENS5 news video below, “the [shooting range] owner fears it could end up in the wrong hands.” Um, yes, I think that ship has sailed with the person who knowingly stole the gun when the range employee’s back was turned.
The female shooting range customer rented a handgun, did a little shooting, then came back to the counter and asked to rent the MP5. She then apparently left with it.
Having paid cash for the rentals and such, the range didn’t even have a record of who the customer was. I think it’s fair to say they’ll be making some policy changes.
Obviously if you know who the woman in the video is, LoneStar Handgun and the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office would love to know as well.
