Mike, the dealer is solid. Known him for 35 years now.
The thing is, lots of people buy AR's for hogs and coyotes and such there. Lots of younger Hispanics do too, and not only that, but the uptick in illegals and bailouts and crime in general, lots of folks have been buying AR's for protection.
He said he passed the smell test. The place he bought it is way more of a hunting store than a gun store. The gun dept is just a small part of that business. Big part of Uvalde business income is the hunters that come there. It is the best store for many miles for that.
The dealer has to rely on NICS for the background check.
ATF crawled up his ass for over 4 hours. Interviewed everyone involved, perused all transactions and paperwork.
They said he did everything right and cleared him of any infraction whatsoever.
