I guess this guy wasn't "carrying" while he was carrying.

More info with pic of bad guy as he was exiting the store (looks like theft detection panel in pic). I bet he was hanging around the gun counter waiting for someone to buy a gun, then went outside and waited for the buyer to exit.

CV67PAT:
Something similar happened a couple of years ago in Florida.
3 guys at the range/store were leaving. The range/store had a policy of no loaded guns outside of the range area. So the 3 guys walked out of the range/store with their unloaded and encased pistols.
When then pulled into their driveway at home, a car pulled up and blocked the driveway. 2 guys jumped out and robbed the 3 of their unloaded and encased guns.
A review of the surveillance tape at the range/store showed the perps walking out behind the victims.
gryphon:
Bad on the range/store for those rules. Double bad on the guys for not arming once they left the store.
Bet they don't make that mistake again.
