Re: Man arrested trying to buy gun at gun show
This happens a lot more often then people realize. We had the samething happen at Valley Forge last year. We called the guy in and immediately went to an operator, she double checked all of his info with us including SS # said it would be a few minutes because the system was slow that day. After about 5 minutes, she ame back on and said it would be a few more minutes and asked exactly what show we were at. I knew then what was going on. About 5 minutes later she comes back on and says it will only be a couple more minutes, I told her I understood and was just waiting. About that time a local LEO came down the isle and looked at me and I shook my head at him, he walked over and with his towards the customers, asked which one. I told him and he immediately asked the guy his name and then handcuffed him and escorted him out.
Later that day I ran into the same officer and asked him what it was about. He said the guy had an outstanding warrent in Phila. for failure to appear. He said it was for a citation for having an open container of beer while sitting on his front porch inside the city limits.
So it makes me wonder what the guy in the above story did. They are making a big issue out of it but IS IT?
