Interesting story; couple of years old but maybe a heads up for some.
UNION CITY, Tenn. (WSMV) - It was Thanksgiving weekend 2021 and Umon Moore had traveled from Minnesota to Obion County, Tennessee, to see some friends and do a little target practice.
He would ultimately end up in handcuffs.
The reason why exposes how easily stolen guns can sold from even big box chains stores, who then sell to customers who have no idea they’re purchasing a stolen weapon.
...
Moore was not charged as Scheels confirmed he bought it from the store, but the gun was confiscated.
As a result of being detained and the confiscation of his gun, Moore sued Scheels, claiming that the store should have known it was stolen.
But a judge ultimately dismissed the case as Scheels’ attorney successfully argued that firearm dealers in Minnesota do not have access to any database to trace firearms.
Anybody ever heard of this before? I think the store should refund the price.
