Quoted:
"Stamford residents Jamar Blackburn –– a convicted felon –– and John Davis purchased two handguns from Forest & Field, a hunting store on New Canaan Avenue in Norwalk, and then sold the handguns to Uzar, the indictment states. "
Some creative writing there it seems. Im guessing this John Davis person is NOT a convincted felon and is the one who actually purchased the two pistols while accompanied by Jamar Blackburn the actual convicted felon. Reporters like to say what they mean but twist things just enough for it to sound like a huge deal. This is the news papers spin on it and Forrest and Field legally sold thoose two guns not knowing it was a straw purchase. Im sure the Hour will never clarify that though.
On another thread I made comment of the convicted felon as well. Did F&F really sell to a convicted felon and if so did he pass the background check, or was a background check even run on the felon if he really purchased the firearm? Or as you say is it merely creative writing by the reporter to make that claim when it may have been he was in possession of a firearm someone else bought at F&F?
So far no word if this lead to the shutdown or was unrelated to the shutdown. Either way hopefully those who had purchased items that were being held by F&F when they went under can retrieve either their money back or their items.
