There is a pawn shop in the area near my work. I and three other co-workers have all recently purchased guns from this shop, and the place seems to be a stand up type of place.
I don't know the particulars but evidently this place doesn't hold whatever license that allows one to sell automatic weapons, silencers, etc. etc.
So anyways the owner of the shop took in a AR 15 type weapon in recently. they checked it out and realized that the safety was "broken" because it would go past its usual stop. They sold it for $500.00 to a customer and he informed them that he'd get the safety fixed. I guess this isn't a biggie since plenty of guns are sold without safeties anyways.
The problem came when the guy took the rifle to a local range where he intended on test firing the rifle. He sighted in, pulled the trigger, and to his shock and surprise the rifle rattled off multiple shots with one blip of the trigger.
The rifle was fully automatic.
Things got really sticky when off duty officers in the lanes nearby heard the rapid, automatic fire. I don't know the particulars here but evidently he was questioned about where he got the rifle, etc. and needless to say the pawn shop is under intense scrutiny.
So is this something that their FFL would be revoked for, and some hefty fine levied against them?
Just curious.
