THIS IS A TRUE STORY...
I was working in a gun shop a few years back part time.... I was a FULL TIME city cop as well... A guy walks in and asked if we bought guns. I said sure we do and I asked him what he had. He, who was wearing the typical I am a gang banger apparal had EVERYONES eye behind the counter stated he was NOT sure it was just a hand gun.
He stated he had it in his pocket, and that the slide was back... I asked him to VERY slowly remove the gun from his pocket with his opposite hand. He did so and handed me a KIMBER CUSTOM SHOP 1911 in .45acp.
I mean.. this gun looked BRAND NEW!!! Well that and his dress style was RED FLAGS number 1 and 2. He then said that he only wanted $200 for it... and that was the WINNING RED FLAG number 3.
I told him sure.... we could reach a deal.. I needed to let my gunsmith check it out real quick and I would bring him the cash back.
Shit brick did NOT know that I was starting to remember him.. so I walked to the back office while he was being watched... I called some buddies at the S.O office who confirmed the gun was on GCIC as a stolen weapon.
I came back to the shop counter and put him on the ground at gun point and made the arrest. A search incident to the arrest revealed a LOADED magazine in his other pocket. Nice thing was that I called the CITY PD and they did the paper work
Turned out the gun belonged to a buddy that had his car broken in and he was able to get his gun back. All in all a good day.. and a thug off the street.
