So classy. I cant tell you for sure now because its been 20 years since Ive been in there. And when I was there last, I saw a note on every display case stating "We dont care if you can buy it cheaper somewhere else. Don't tell us. We dont care. Go buy it there instead. Thank you." He knew the straw purchasers who knew how to not raise suspicions would happily fork over $100 over market rates for a gun that they could sell on the black market for even more were happy to give them their business in exchange for the bare minimum of scrutiny. purple indicates sarcasm of course. I wouldnt purposefully slander an upstanding retailer.
Easy. Hyper local clientele that dont know any better. Rumor has it they sell ammo by the bullet as well.
And I'm sure it has absolutely nothing to do with prior federal suits (that Don himself weaseled out of) implicating his store alone accounting for just shy of 10% of the guns used in Chicago crime back in the day. Not sure if its still accurate, but at one point something like 8-9% of the guns recovered in Chicago crimes were originally sold at Don's . While that doesnt sound like a large number, when you consider he didnt have a Chicago, or even an Illinois store that is pretty damning. But apparently his history with the Unions allowed him to skate when charges on the surface appeared pretty bulletproof.
