Houston, TX - 'Gun jugging' on the rise

[Stomper]

If you can find the little bits of plastic after his Scientific Method impacts the target. Oh, and we're on the range today so please bear with the gunfire you hear in the background.

True, but you can actually store the gunfire sounds in the coat as well, so party on!

Didn't have a name for it but I was warned of this on Sunday. I bought at a large chain in a not so great neighborhood and the guy told me they've had problems recently of people sitting in the parking lot waiting for people walking out with cases/boxes. I felt a bit dumb for a second because it made so much sense but I'd never really concerned myself over before.

I have walked out of gun stores with cases/etc. in some places in PDX and my head is on a swivel, and yes, I watch for people following me in cars too as I drive away. I really need to get my CHL once WA co opens back up, but now that I am unemployed, on a fixed income I probably won't be buying many more guns - I have most of everything I need anyway - and then some.

Trying to accost someone directly who is known to have guns is not a very wise move for a criminal. Stealing from a car is not a mugging, it is theft, so calling it jugging doesn't work in my mind.

Sounds like Johnson Creek Sportsman's Warehouse Was told years ago that CCSO wouldn't roll into the surrounding neighborhood solo, they would roll 2 man car, or 2 cars at a time thru there.

DUDE, it was that exact store!

I had a feeling.

We were there last weekend, I picked up a new baitcaster from them, because my wife's store was out. I've never personally had any issues there, but I would not leave valuables in the car there.

All these new trendy terms for the same things crims have been trying for years. Under any other name it's still the Room Temperature Challenge.
