“I asked him where he acquired the two handguns, turns out he bought them both from a policeman in a mid-sized town next county over. You can probably figure out the rest of the story.”
Let me spin it. Guns are stolen and someone reports it. Sometime later cops confiscate some guns off some perp. Rather than run those guns to find out where they came from, a cop makes a fast buck by selling them on the side.
Yep. He lifted them off someone on a traffic stop, or whatever, traded them to my buddy, and not a damn thing happened to him.
