OPSEC
I had not given a lot of consideration to carry issues until last week helping my buddy move. We moved his safe and arms at night. It had not really occurred to me until he mentioned it.
His reasoning was some what simple, if no one sees them, no one knows he has them thereby reducing the possibilities of a neighbor with less than honest behavior, a misguided conversation by a neighbor with another etc.
Despite the penalties associated with firearm theft, it remains a prime target mainly because of high value in a small package and since they are likely to be sold illegally just as they were obtained, they may have a higher than retail value.
I think it is fairly minimal, this video'ed theft makes it almost perfectly clear these SOB's KNEW what they were after.
