Police Chief Frederick Ryan said two of the handguns reported stolen from PSMG Gun Co at 10 Park Ave. may have been involved in a murder in Boston on May 15. Arlington Police are working closely with Boston Police and Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis is planning a press conference for this afternoon at 1:30. "We've made a number of decisions surrounding this particular gun dealer. All of our decision have been in the best interest of public safety and we will continue to pursue the matter pursuant to the law," Ryan said. Ryan said yesterday the last time PSMG was broken into, many of the handguns were found at Boston crime scenes. On May 13 around 2 a.m., police dispatch received a call about a burglary of the Park Avenue store. Officer Mike Flynn was around the corner and arrived within a minute to the scene where he found the back door of the shop was forced opened. The police are investigating why the alarm was delayed. Seven of the handguns were Caspian .45 calibers along with several makes of Colt firearms including .45 calibers, Lawman III .357 magnum, and Agent 380 PL. An AMT .45 was also stolen that night. According to Ryan, no ammunition was taken. The shop was robbed in September 2005. This February, Arlington Police Chief Fred Ryan revoked gun store owner Paul Giragosian's license to sell firearms after one of his employee's shot himself. It was the second such incident in five years at the store. The Arlington Fire Department cited Giragosian's store with several violations including having flammable and combustible insulation used in the shop's firing range. Ryan said his department also tried to remove the firearms from PSMG Gun Co, but Giragosian received a Superior Court injunction from Cambridge. The Arlington Police Department is also working with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms in the investigation. Giragosian did not return calls seeking comment. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
