Operation Secure Store | 2018 SHOT Show TV Studio
Operation Secure Store is a joint initiative between the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) aimed at reducing burglaries of Federal Firearm Licensees (FFLs). The program emphasizes preventative measures FFLs can take to 'harden their targets,' such as physical barriers, surveillance systems, and reinforced glass, to deter criminals. It also highlights the importance of delaying burglar access to allow for law enforcement response and to prevent stolen firearms from entering illegal commerce. The ATF commits significant resources to investigate all FFL burglaries, treating them as equivalent to bank robberies.
