MCDONOUGH, Ga. (AP) — Federal authorities say 66 firearms have been stolen from a gun range outside Atlanta.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said in a news release Wednesday that the crime happened during the early morning hours of May 18 at the American Heritage Gun Range and Training Center.

The statement noted the theft was the second from the business in the past 30 days.

The federal agency and the National Shooting Sports Foundation trade group are offering a total reward of $5,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of whoever is responsible.

McDonough is about 30 miles southeast of Atlanta.

  1. instead of offering $5000 reward you’d think they’d offer free guns…

  2. Except when it isn’t.

  3. So, how secure are gun ranges like this?

  4. “The federal agency and the National Shooting Sports Foundation trade group are offering a total reward of $5,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of whoever is responsible.”

    It’s the “well-regulated militia.” Where do I claim my $5,000.00?

  5. So much for gun safety at the gun range can’t even properly lockup firearms.
