Pa. Attorney General's Office agents at gun shows today.

[ScotsGuards]

At Both the Oaks and Pa. Gun Collectors Assn. shows there were agents of the Pa. Attorney General's Office canvasing the show. These agents were observing sales at the shows and then questioning dealers about the details of various transactions.

One dealer friend at PGCA was asked if a sale he made was a "straw purchase" because the wife was buying a handgun for self protection and not the husband. The husband already has one for himself my friend informed the agent.

At the Oaks show my wife and head salesman were asked why a couple left without finishing a sale. They informed the agents that PICS was down and the couple would be back after finishing their shopping. In the meanwhile our people could run their PICS if and when the system went back online. When that was done the purchaser could be called and they could pick up their pistol and be on their way.

One coincidentally odd thing in common with these transactions: BOTH buyers were placed into research. The incident at PGCA, the dealer was questioned AFTER the PICS came back "research". With the incident at Oaks, my crew were asked BEFORE the PICS was even run. It makes me wonder if this is a coincidence or? I'll reserve final opinion till I know more.

Apparently there were numerous incidents such as this. These agents were roaming the shows and openly wearing identification as to who they were.

If any other dealers have any specific incidents it would be great to share them here.

They had badges saying "PAID MINIONS OF MICHAEL BLOOMBERG"?

I was just about to say that. Now she's using PA tax payer money, personnel, and Commonwealth authority to do the work of Bloomberg's NYC army.

She probably trying to get "evidence" to shut down PA gunshows for Bloomberg.

We really have to stop this horrible person.

Paula Abdul's song two steps forward and one step back.

I have grown to love this state. I have no idea why people elect these people and expect something different or take chances. Makes no sense.

We did have a PAFOA member file a fraud complaint with the AG's Office about the last Northway gunshow. The complaint involved THE organizer... perhaps there were more than one that made them decide to start looking.

Next time you see these guys in public politely ask them to look into the illegal dealings of their boss w/r/t the validity of out of state carry licenses and the illegal gun buster stickers on Pendot license centers. I would like to hear their response!

Shouldn't the answer to the questions have been "none of your business'? I'm sure if they were authroized they could have tracked purchases back at the office. I know I wouldn't have been happy with a dealer talking about my purchase.

I wonder if these agents were volunteering their time or if WE were paying them???????

I'm a retired state employee. I can't imagine anyone volunteering their time for official state business. That's absurd!

Since the vast majority of attendees of gun shows are white, wouldn't it stand to reason that this investigation was racially motivated and needs to be shut down? Just like that investigation into corruption of Philly politicians.
