1000's of Stolen Firearms.. Multi state ring..
This is the same pawn shop that wanted $25 for $15 box of .308 ammo. Also the same one that I reported to you guys that the BATF had raided earlier in the month.. The local news reported that the ring involved had thousands of stolen firearms pass through this shop.... Now who was it that said a pawn shop can not be held responsible for the weapons they buy from people who bee bop in off of the street??
The local TV news reported tonight that the pawn shop owner was arrested along with others involved with the shops daily operation..

The Boone County Sheriff's Department arrested one man and likely will arrest others as an investigation continues into the discovery of a large amount of stolen property at a Danville pawn shop.
Police started the investigation after receiving a tip about possible stolen material located at Britton's Gun & Pawn. The tipster said the material was from an area burglary.
Police searched the shop and found various items linked to burglaries and larcenies in 10 West Virginia counties, as well as 12 states, according to a press release from Boone County Sheriff Rodney Miller.
Because of the vast amount of property located at the business, police made the inventory available to regional law enforcement so records and crime reports could be checked, the release said.
Police recovered several guns, power tools and various other items, according to the release.
Because of the number of firearms in question, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is now involved.
The investigation began after a Danville home was burglarized on Dec. 29, the release said. Shortly afterward, police received information that some of the stolen property was at the pawn shop, according to the release.
Police arrested Jerry Wayne Messer, 25, of Julian, on Dec. 31, and charged him with transferring stolen property, nighttime burglary and grand larceny in connection with the Dec. 29 burglary, and also two transferring stolen property charges from a Nov. 9 burglary allegation, according to Miller's release.
Messer is still incarcerated in Southwestern Regional Jail.
He and others probably will face additional charges on state and federal levels, as the investigation continues, the release said.
Madison, Danville and State Police have been working with the sheriff's department.
The West Virginia counties involved are Boone, Cabell, Fayette, Harrison, Jackson, Lincoln, Logan, Taylor, Wayne and Wyoming, and the states in question are Arizona, Arkansas, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Montana, New York, North and South Carolina, Texas, Michigan and Virginia, according to the release.
