The guns were stolen from Sherwin Shooting Sports on Vine Street around 3 a.m. Thursday.

Authorities say unknown individuals forcibly gained entry into the building. The ATF reported that 60 handguns and 10 long guns were stolen but Eastlake police say 60 guns total were stolen.

Some of the guns have already been recovered by Cleveland police, according to the Eastlake police chief.

The ATF is offering a reward of up to $5,000, which will be matched by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) for a possible reward of $10,000.

I've said that for years now, especially since the internet came along. Can't spot stolen merchandise if you don't know what to look for.
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

Four have been arrested with nine of the stolen guns. Police aren't sure if they committed the robbery or not.

Along those lines, will be the next legislative attack on gun shops.
Over the top security measures that even larger shops can't afford.
I have already seen several media hit pieces published about "security", and a Illinois "D" has introduced legislation to mandate how FFL's must store their inventory.
