ATTEMPTED Gun Theft at the Crown Point Shosw

[Birds Away]

He's trying to turn his life around. How else is he supposed to get money for school?

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

I've sold a TON of holsters and other stuff to Illini with no problems as people are people. I guess I am open to freedom and democracy tho.

Hey! You and your newfangled "common sense " have NO place in this Illini bashing thread, Mister!

LOL. Just stop it. LOL

Ok. I'll quit. Thought it was my birthday...

I guess Illinois guns do come from Indiana.

Glad the perp was caught. Bold move. Better to snag it from a table full of guns. Thieve's aren't smart.

Yes.

Too bad we can't pillory people as a sentence these days. I think being locked in stocks outside the gun show entrance with a sign that says thief would be a good punishment. Vendors could sell old vegetables to throw at the miscreant.

If they can show that he intended to take it back to Illinois, wouldn't that be "theft of a firearm with intent to illegally transport across state lines? Smells like federal charges, but since he was probably working for the DOJ or Rahm Emanuel, it won't amount to anything.

Sounds like he almost got away with it. Where is the blame the victim INGO crowd? He should have had it cabled to the table!

 

[Ddillard]

Glad they got him, not the sharpest tool I guess. I seem to see more and more sketchy folks at the bigger shows these days.

I second that.

 

[PolishBulldog]

Wow! I left right before then but I'm glad he was caught and there was enough of a commotion to make an example out of him. Bravo to the Lake County Sheriff!

 

[PGRChaplain]

Yea!!!!!!!!!

 

[GIJEW]

I agree. No Indiana DL and you don't get in. They got no business in the mother land.

Never mind knives, IIRC federal law does allow buying LONG guns from adjacent states.

 

[Jeepster48439]

We need to close that gun show loophole!

 

[migunner]

Awesome

 

[spec4]

I've seen people at that show that are either drug dealers or trying to look like drug dealers.

Like to see a picture of this person to know who not to trust.

Granted, but on the other end of the stick, every time we turn around, Chicago is trying to scapegoat there violence problems on Indiana with it's "lax" gun laws. Funnily enough, the last person I heard of that got busted making straw purchases in Indiana and letting criminals in Chicago have the guns, they gave that person a whole whopping 2 years probation.

Tried to swipe a boat anchor Hi Point I bet..........if he'd gone for a Smith airweight he'd have been out the door

So to my friends who were there with me, what was going down in the parking lot right after that?

About a year ago I was at the C.P. Show.
A real down and out looking Dude I think at "ZGUNS".
Ready the form. he listed that he was a felon and lived in Illinois.
When the salesman questioned him.
The dude actually said, I did not think that mattered.
When the salesman refused. The dude pulled out a roll of cash to choke a horse.
The dude kept pressuring the salesman.
I popped off, I will go check with the officer at the door for you.
The dude pushed the cash into his pocket and faded into the crowd.
