Quote:Who buys a gun from a stranger at a gun show without going through proper channels leaving ones self vulnerable to criminal prosecution!
Grizz... It happens all the time at gun shows, usually out in the parking lot...That is one of the best reasons to go through a FFL, unless you really know the seller...and even then, I question the practice...as he may have just bought it a couple of rows over and having "buyer's regret" (usually an angry wife)...
The dealer should have called the sheriff's office when he purchased it...just for his own protection as well..It wouldn't have helped Yotekiller31's position, but memory and facts might have been a little easier to establish then..
I agree with getting a good "Criminal" attorney...not one that specializes in wills and probate...or divorces and traffic accidents/tickets...I don't know about Ohio, but in MO, "Receiving Stolen Property" is a Felony,,,, especially if the prosecutor is coming up for election and needs another conviction by his name...
