St. Louis Cabela’s Protects Guns From Looters

By Dan Zimmerman on August 11, 2014

Here’s a TTAG Eyewitness News report from our local correspondent, Dirk Diggler, who sent these phone pics. After last night’s looting in nearby Ferguson, Missouri, the St. Louis Cabela’s store (which is located about five miles west of Ferguson in nearby Hazelwood) has taken precautions to protect its firearms inventory. The store is located in a large shopping center called the St. Louis Outlet Mall. Dirk reports that every entrance to the mall has at least one squad car on prominent display and there are policemen posted both at Cabela’s front door and inside the store . . .

 

There are only long guns on display, safely behind the counter. All handguns have been removed from the glass display cases to protect against flash mob-style smash-and-grab attempts. Specific firearms customers want to see are brought out one at a time from storage off the sales floor.

The usually accessible racks of long guns leading toward the gun library have been emptied.

And access to the more valuable firearms in the gun library is now blocked by a wall of gun safes that have been moved into position to block the doors.

Dirk reported that Cabela’s staff didn’t know when things would return to normal. He was told that the gun counter is “under orders” to operate this way until further notice. Whether those orders came from Cabela’s headquarters or the local police wasn’t clear.

Dirk Diggler is a black lawyer from the St. Louis area.  He is and has been a member of Missouri Carry for several years helping the 2A fight.  Seems to be a good guy and one of his posts on the forum was "you can't call me racist as I am black"... :)

I have no idea what his real name is....  I just assumed this was his screen name on Missouri Carry and until I did a search had no idea it was porn related.  I just checked his profile on MO Carry and he joined in 2010 and is an active member with over 600 posts.

And there was a roller girl. Mmmmmm... Edited August 12, 2014 by TMF

I will have to snicker when I read his post from now on....  Thanks for enlightening me.  Maybe he chose that screen name for a reason..... I am usually not that nieve but this one caught me unaware. 

 

From what I have read on the internet the cop is white if that is believable that did the shooting.  I am waiting for 0 to weigh in on the situation like he did the Martin kid.

There won’t be any problems. I saw on the news today that Obama has stepped in and taken control; all will be fine.

Dirk Diggler?  :lol:

 

I guess they were boogieing for a few nights there huh?

[TrickyNicky]

Mmm, Roller Girl....

He is aware. He drives Shannon Watts batcrazy with it (MDA watches TTAG, and apparently they know /hate each other). Dirk has an ongoing hobby of trying to score a date with Watts.
