Its just human nature, I have all the serial numbers of my guns because I have all the old registrations and would be embarrassed not to have them for a police report. My son on the other hand would not have a clue of his gun's numbers, I think you could see that across the population, same pattern. IMHO

I get the NRA's monthly magazine - it devotes a page to true stories of people defending themselves with a firearm when threatened with bodily harm - most concern crooks breaking into homes and crooks committing a robbery - when the victim shoots a crook under such circumstances they are treated as a hero because society has one less crook to worry about - I have often thought what I would do if I am sleeping at night and get awakened by someone trying to break into my home - you never know what the intention of the crook is or will he harm you if given the chance - especially if it is in the house - my kids know not to come into my house at night without announcing themselves - so if a crook comes in he is in for a big surprise - I got loaded guns in the house so I can get them real quick - glad to be in the good old U.S. of A

Rural homes are rarely,if ever,B&E'd to steal firearms,specifically. Honestly,I had never seen it or heard of it (at least while I was serving). More than anything,crooks were looking to steal tools,farm equipment or vehicles. Rural crooks know that there's a very high probability of getting shot at by an irate farmer,the main reason they wait until no one is around. They also know that when or if seen,there's no easy means of escape and the likelihood of being recognized is quite high. Farmer's dogs can be very problematic for them,too. OPP and Regional Police services get to know who the retards are and can almost guarantee who pulled the pisser as soon as they get the occurrence. That was the beauty of community policing for us. The idiots could run but they couldn't hide.

Just a question,again,Joe. Sorry to be a pest,but,how many people keep firearms around their homes for quick access that are secured in the meantime? Children messing with unsecured firearms seems to be a real serious issue.
If a tree falls on your ex in the woods and nobody hears it,you should probably still get rid of your chainsaw. Just sayin'....

A week hardly goes by up my way when firearms are not stolen along with other property. I am pretty sure places are specifically targeted as guns are easy to sell. Rural crook's are not stupid, an empty driveway or no foot prints in the snow is a dead give away, a knock on the door to ask directions and Bob's your uncle.

Its a general remark, if your really interested you can research all the crime reports for that district, firearms are stolen a lot as every other home has firearms in it.

They are not isolated incidents I am up there 8 months of the year and hear this stuff on the Moose radio every week, just because I grabbed a snap shot on the net of the theft's does not mean that is not all that was reported to the news or even the police.
Maybe you need to here it from guys taking the reports
[COLOR=#333333]There have been lots of break-ins with firearms stolen within Ontario,” Bancroft OPP Const. Philippe Regamey said noting Bancroft OPP is participating in the amnesty. “These firearms can then be sold and or used for violent crimes. If people are not properly licenced, and or do not use their firearms anymore, this is a safe and legal way — if they are being possessed illegally — to get them out of homes and off the streets.”
Just also to add for you almost every illegal grow operation or drug raid result's in the seizure of firearm's from seasoned criminal's, where did they get their guns from?

You may be partly correct regarding "homes", but up this way, it's a good mix of homes and/or cottages/camps. Not sure what the scum are targeting but invariably firearms are reported stolen, as well as the usual, tools, etc.
Familiarity of the victims in the community may well be a factor when these punks target a location? If so n so down the road knows you are a hunter, they are pretty well assured there will be firearms onsite? It may not be the so n so down the road who does the deed, but they pass that info to their druggy buddies.
