From what I understand, it put the buyers in a bad light. I recall that some people bought Kimbers(?) which are not on any "list" or "roster" and they had to be returned. Perhaps that can be confirmed.
I find that pretty hard to believe. In the past shops have sent people letters etc, about this kind of thing but nobody has ever been under a legal obligation to do
so. Of course people get scared and a request turns into a "demand" in their brains.
Len-2a shed some more light:
"Customers were questioned but none faced any charges as it is indeed all on the dealer. They needed info from buyers to prosecute the seller, that's all."
This is much more believable, particularly if we're talking about deals like the fiasco that happened at K&R when the owner had that manager that stole guns from his
shop, etc. That guy went to jail, actually. There were a few others like that too, but way beyond handgun compliance BS. I can see buyers getting lots of
questions out of issues like that. In some of those cases the records are so f***ed up they may have contacted buyers at random out of wanting to see just how
bad the dealer was.
Those unfortunate buyers had a hand in the dealers demise since they were forced to rat him out.
Lol I find this hard to believe, since there had to be enough supporting paperwork to get them to the buyer to begin with. The dealer was probably already toast at that
point.
