Kyle is out of the woods on the state gun charges, but his friend Dominick Black, who purchased the rifle, and then provided it to Kyle is facing state charges related to providing the gun to a minor.
There have also been rumors that he could face federal charges for the “straw man” purchase, though I have not seen confirmation of that.
kyle was legal to have it.
what law was broken?
I believe it was established at the trial a 17-year-old could carry this weapon in Wisconsin. However, they cannot purchase so an adult MUST provide the weapon. Therefore Dominick Black would not have illegally provided to a minor.
However, the Federal Straw purchase issue is different.
If Dominick told authorities he purchased the gun for Kyle he may be in legal trouble. If he stated he purchased it for himself with the intent to eventually “gift” it to Kyle for his 18th birthday the water gets murky.....
