Shelby Township police are investigating the robbery of a gun shop in the early morning hours of Dec. 1.

Security video revealed three suspects wearing dark clothing broke into the rear entrance of Patriots Ammo & Arms on Van Dyke Avenue south of 24 Mile Road at about 4:20 a.m. The suspects took several firearms, according to Shelby Township Capt. Jason Schmittler, who wouldn't reveal how many weapons were stolen or what type of weaponry was removed. He did say most of the weapons were listed as handguns.

Nuri Yousif, the owner of Patriots Ammo & Arms, said the suspects got past two security gates and a double deadbolt on the back door. Yousif said it appears they used a battering ram to get in.

The first person to have his guns confiscated under Florida�s 2018 �red flag� law has been found guilty over his refusal to voluntarily surrender the weapons.

Smith owned an AR-15 rifle and a .22-caliber rifle which Broward deputies seized after his arrest in March 2018 on charges of firing six shots at a vehicle being driven by his best friend, according to reports.

Submitter's note: Very confusing article. Were his guns seized because of chargers related to his arrest? If he was arrested, his guns were not seized because of a red flag law.

Naval station's gun restrictions didn't stop shooter but did stop sailors from arming themselves

U.S. Naval Air Station Pensacola in Florida was put on lockdown early Friday morning as shots rang out in what would be the second mass shooting on a stateside military base this week.

According to The Associated Press, three were killed and 12 more injured when an aviation student opened fire on his peers during a classroom training session.

The shooter, who has since been identified as Saudi Arabian national Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, was quickly neutralized -- not by U.S. Armed Forces, but by two Escambia County Sheriff's deputies during a standoff which ensued following law enforcement's rapid response to the attack.

Why on earth would the sailors on base require local law enforcement response, you might ask?

8 Great Shotguns You�ve Never Heard Of

Some great shotguns escape mass notice. Maybe they�re ahead of their time, or they�re not heavily marketed, or maybe they were overshadowed by other models. Whatever the case, some really good guns remain under the radar forever. I�ve been thinking about that this fall, as my companion in the field has been a Blaser F16, a terrific field O/U that hasn�t made much of a dent in the U.S. market yet. That seems to be its fate, and the fate of several other excellent guns past and present, all of which (well, maybe with the exception of number 3) are well worth ferreting out and adding to your collection. Here are eight overlooked shotguns: three currently in production and five no longer being made.
