Ashley and his dad (Stan) are great guys. They always had the nicest tables at the gun shows, with the biggest selection, and best prices.
He may have made some mistakes (I'm no lawyer), but it seems this whole thing is turning in to another witch hunt!
They are making the guy out to be some sort of world class "arms dealer".
Every report continues to mention grenades and mortar rounds, as well as anti-tank shells. I'm pretty sure what they are listing are deactivated novelty "dummy" grenades.
You can walk in to "Acher Arms" in Lincoln, or any military surplus store and find the same de-milled "explosives".
Perfectly safe, and 100% legal to own, but the douchebag media would never tell the unimformed reader this truth (or they are too ignorant to know the difference)!
I seriously doubt he had live grenades and a real rocket launcher (as reported). If he did, I would think it would have been listed in his charges (they didn't list anything like "explosives" or "destructive devices").
If this is the case, it's pretty shitty that they keep mentioning the novelty paper weights, and leading people to believe that they were real explosives/ordinance.
Just my two cents!
I could be wrong...
