(This, of course, is addressed to the press.)

Need more info. Did the credit card reader record the credit card numbers?

If it did, hopefully the vendor would notify the card holders.

I know that's not an open carry issue, but just be aware if anyone is offering antique firearms for sale. It would be nice if we could get a list of what he lost.

Really? I'm sorry - I thought this just happened. It did make me wonder if there was a gunshow over the weekend that I missed.... ;)

I just saw it on the TV news as well - my guess is Hanover didnt want the word spread yet.

When I was at the last gun show at RIR, so....November?....they made the announcement to watch where you stop after the show. They told us the same Cracker Barrel story, so it must have occurred in October maybe?
