16. Just how fortified does the store need to be?

Whenever guns are stolen, the focus needs to be placed on the "victim" of the theft. The thieves are already gone, the horse is already out of the barn, so to speak, what needs to be determined is how responsible were the precautions taken to prevent the theft and how properly were the guns stored.

It's hard to make out, but Google Street View seems to indicate that, just as I suspected, the gun store had bars over the windows and doors of the brick-fronted store.

Just how fortified does the building need to be?

How much effort should a thief have to go to to steal before we can blame the thief instead of the shop keeper?
