.22 and .380's and from the article.

Turnbo doesn’t have a criminal history in Cook County, Illinois, but Jackson has an extensive one dating back to 2102 for things like residential burglary, theft, retail theft and criminal damage to property.

2102

Memphis must be a hot spot. According to that article, a number of firearms were stolen from the same facility before. I would have thought that after one such heist that UPS would have updated security on firearms.

No way. They can't be going to Chicago. Guns are illegal there.....

Don't these criminals know anything?

I read that as well, and wondered the same. Most of their facilities are metal buildings that can be accessed with a screw gun that is battery operated.
I'd think a secure area would be available. But there is always that chance they had that and it was an inside job.

About 25 years ago, they did.

Sorta.

They changed their rules so handguns had to be shipped overnight because, reportedly, they had a problem with employees stealing them. Apparently, all it really succeeded in doing was driving up costs for dealers. You know, that one thing that all security theater measures do...

Has anyone called Eric Holder?

Golden opportunity missed, i would have added another couple of thousand in heavier calibers, the sooner chicago wipes itself out the better

Actually, that second article had a mention of a theft just last year with a shipment of guns going to Louisiana.
