Prosecutors say Carrado, who owned K&R Target Sports, continued to sell firearms after surrendering his license in September 2010.
Carrado sold 45 guns without a license over a six-month period in 2010 and 2011.
Carrado surrendered his license after a former employee stole about 100 guns from the store and sold them on his own. Some ended up in the hands of a member of the Hells Angels.

The employee who stole the guns and re-sold them (causing the store owner to have to surrender his license), got seven years in prison. Sounds about right (???).

So that's what happened to that place. I used to shop there. When they went out of business I just assumed it was because they were losing money, especially after the time they charged me $20 for what was probably at least half hour worth of work on my Sig.
"Carrado's lawyer said his client was a law-abiding citizen who was ''bamboozled'' by the former employee."
Based on this 2013 article, it sounds like he was bamboolzed and wasn't paying attention to what was going on in his shop.

If the guns were signed to his possession before the license forfeiture I fail to see how he was charged at all.
only allowed four FtF transactions per year without an FFL?
thats on the cheap side! some have a flat fee 5 minute to 60 minutes same price?Some smiths charge 65$ a hour. A friend was quoted that .
I heard that the employee did his illegal sales while Carrado was out of town for a month or so.
Ray's sister was sick in Florida and entrusted his business to a scumbag for a few months. Ray was a good guy and was taken advantage of. His show was the first one I went to right after I got my LTC. Always liked going in there.
