I’m not understanding what laws were broken here. Did he resell SIGs without a license? That would be berserkedly stupid. Did he inform his cohorts that he could get $100 off on a personal P226/P229 for anyone who wanted one?
I’ll credit him with good taste in hardware.
Straw Purchase
“Concealing the identity of the true buyer of a gun is a crime,”
It is illegal under federal law for a person to knowingly make a false statement related to the purchase of a firearm from a licensed dealer, manufacturer or importer, where the falsehood is material to the legality of the sale or other disposition of the firearm. The amicus brief argues a person who engages in a straw purchase is in violation of the federal statute even if the true purchaser is not barred by law from buying a gun.
Sounds like he was using the agency authority to purchase guns and then giving them out to people without the official authority to carry them. Regardless of one’s concealed weapons status or legal right to own a gun, those weapons basically are “agency” weapons. You have to be credentialed and qualified to carry them.
