Thieves drove a truck through a metal barrier and stole 65 guns from Dragonman’s gun store and shooting range while Mel “Dragon Man” Bernstein — “the most armed man in America” — was out eating dinner.
The incident occurred on Sunday night.
According to The Denver Post, Bernstein said, “I have over 200 machine guns in my name. If I had been there they would have gotten shot in the head.” Video of the break-in was caught by surveillance cameras and apparently shows “young kids” who were “masked and hooded.”
He said the suspects got away with some “valuable weapons” but did not touch the most expensive ones; all of which are electronically controlled machine guns.
Bernstein met with the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office and recognized the suspects’ vehicle. Moreover, he noted that very few people know his comings and goings, so he believes the EPCSO will narrow it down and make an arrest quickly.
The suspects used Bernstein’s truck to smash the metal barrier and make entry, and this makes Dragonman’s gun store burglary the most recent in a rash of smash-and-grab robberies targeting firearms dealers.
On June 25, Daily Mail reported that Bernstein owns 200 machine guns, “countless grenade launchers,” and “80 military vehicles.” His nickname — Dragon Man — comes from the fact that he has a fire-breathing dragon head affixed to his Harley Davidson.
