An investigation is underway after several military guns used by the American Legion were stolen in Lincoln County.
The guns were stolen from a storage garage in the Goshen Road area sometime between last Thursday and today.
Members from the American Legion say seven of their M-1 Rifles used for military funeral were stolen. They say the rifles are from World War II.

There’s a good chance those were the exact guns used for a 21 gun salute at Vietnam veteran Dan Kaas’ funeral.
“They stole from the veterans, stole from the veterans’ families that passed away. That keeps us from doing the funerals..maybe they stole from some of their own people,” says Lynn Young of the American Legion.
Young says until those guns are found, they will only be able to perform one funeral at a time instead of two.
Anyone with information on the stolen guns is asked to call the Lincoln County Sheriff.
