I think it comes from the “charged patrons to fire police department weapons in a public “machine gun shoot” he advertised on Facebook”
I haven’t heard of any PD doing something like this. Seems more like a gun shop stunt - I guess it’s ok, unless he pocketed the fee collected from the shooters?
Sounds like the illegality of it is in the details but his actions overall are pretty weird, I’ll say that.
This I’ll say for sure, I’d love to shoot a Ma Deuce some day, if I can afford to, and I don’t care who owns it or how they got it. :)
