re: #125 Gus

If McCabe is telling the truth, that he was tipped, than obviously they would have had to have known who he was at this gun store.

We can assume that they should have known, yeah, what with Kelly being a local celebrity with vocal opinions about heavily regulating their industry and banning entire lines of merchandise.

On the other hand maybe they gave him the benefit of the doubt, or some young hourly worker had no idea who he was when writing up the sale.

Either way we can admit that at this point that the AR-15 purchase is a PR stunt, right? That seems to be the entire purpose of the transaction from Kelly’s point of view, even if the stunt started out as a spur of the moment decision on top of the legit 1911 purchase. So why exactly should the gun store owner go ahead and complete the transfer? It appears that they have more than enough reason not to.
