Stealing a 28 ga Parker would be close to a capital offense.

Gee, if they were ripping off their fellow vendors, I wonder what kind of deals the buyers got from these clowns.

That's how they became such good vendors - they stole from the first guy then passed the savings on to you!

Think about this. A guy, 78 years old, probably a lifetime career criminal, probably a clean criminal record. What lives these guys must have lived, stealing from their friends, their enemies, their families. They should be proud.

Last year at the Tulsa show 2 Henry rifles valued at $65,000 each were stolen.There is no telling how much has been taken over the last 20 years these guys have been going to Tulsa.Everything that has been stolen has been really high end.I guess they figured that if you can't afford to buy it,it's OK to steal it.

I hope the 4473 files from these guys are examined. I also hope their homes are searched for guns they were afraid to put on the market. To answer a poster's question, it seems like none of the three were PGCA members.

Hopefully, their homes have already been searched. What will be interesting to see is if any other arrests are made on this case and who else might be implicated in the plot

At their age, even 5 years could turn out to be a life sentence. Was it worth it to these guys?

I don't know if these guys are licensed dealers. If they are I don't think they would log in guns they robbed.

Has anyone herd any other info on this? Were they working together?
