Your story as you tell it just doesn't add up. Just because you lick Robb's ass clean doesn't mean I'm inclined to believe you.
Obviously, as you've proven, something out of the ordinary happened here. I'm still going, and I'll be bashed for this now, with Ken in his theory that 95% of the facts are twisted and you're telling a tale.

If the applicant passes the screening stage, he or she may purchase both restricted and non restricted weapons. If the applicant already posses a prohibited weapon he or she may purchase another. Upon purchase then the guns MUST be properly stored in a locked case/closet and trigger locked as well. The gun can ONLY be transported to the range and back for target practice. A separate permit is needed for this, and is subject to may restrictions. Assault weapons, for the most part, cannot be shot at regular range. In short gun ownership in Canada is highly regulated and enforced.
If this story is true, and again it is not my desire to agree or dispute this incident, the claimed Canadian is absolutely violating EVERY law in regards to gun ownership and transportation. I read earlier he has a prior convictions, and if such would not be entitled to own this, or any other weapon, in any way whatsoever. If he is Canadian and posses it then it is done so illegally and may have been stolen from a legitimate collector, and must be turned back to him or her. Not turned over to a third party. I can't even begin to go into the transportation laws he is violating. If this story is true, then perhaps there is more detail involved, such as being a citizen of another country and using a stolen Canadian passport.

I'm not ready to give in yet, sorry you just gotta hang in there a little longer with me. Like I said, I do believe something happened, that is a weapon, not an AK-47, but just another firearm ok so we know there are firearms in FL, and that is a bullet hole. That's about all we know for sure.
With that, you guys are willing to believe those are Federal agents, that the weapon was properly registered to a Canadian citizen, that the shooter is felon, that the LEO on the scene forced the suspect to pay for damages on the spot using a firearm, that the LEO transfered a weapon to the victim who's background wasn't even checked out could be a criminal, that transfer was made on the side of the highway out of his trunk?
do you believe the shooter was linked to terrorism but carried a passport with him on the street? do you believe the evidence, the weapon, that was used for maybe even a possible crime, chain of custody of that evidence was lost by giving the weapon to the victim?
are you guys ready to believe all this or just some of this? I'm not quite ready to believe everything it so sorry if I'm still a doubter but I need more time...and more proof. I haven't seen the proof of everything yet. Maybe it will come, maybe it won't since this appears to have turned the corner. But somehow I get the feeling we are being hoodwinked. Maybe when the newspaper article or press come out....
I just think he got his facts all mixed up. For example, when he says the weapon checked out, what he probably meant was the system didn't show anything unusual on that weapon's serial number. But the way Ron says it, the serial number comes back properly registered to the shooter, who holds a Canadian passport.
I did post the question in an AK forum to get some feedback for those more knowledgeable about firearms than me (but it appears we have a lot of experts here).
We don't just have one or two laws violated here. There are at least a dozen violations across two country, not only by the police but by the shooter AND the victim (accepting ownership of a firearm not registered to you is a crime, I wouldn't have touched that weapon no matter what). Normally I would give in, but at this point I can't sign up to saying all those facts are "facts"....not yet.
Ron shot his truck and got in a little trouble. You answered all of Adam's questions, how about a couple of mine...but if you don't I understand since you guys think I'm being unfair to Ron.
And if you see all most posts disappear when the true indictments come down and this story breaks, I promise to wear one of those shirts and post my apology in it's place.

I would say it would be on the news if these guys actually make an arrest or find out that they put a stop to something that was in the works
#369
If someone emais this link to a few big stations which are always quick to jump to conclusions I am sure it would easily make the news.
So... No such thing as a homeland security officer. Maybe Al Quada tapped the police line and sent their own men over
And I wanted to take a road trip down to florida

Police in Orlando, Fla., are searching for three men who went on an early-morning crime spree armed with an AK-47 assault rifle, shooting one person, according to a Local 6 News report.
Investigators said the men first shot and apparently robbed a man at the Palms Apartments on Mercy Drive early Monday.
The group then apparently traveled about two miles down the road and approached Damon Christopher and robbed him of money and a cell phone, Local 6 News reported.
"The guy with the AK was like, 'Shoot him,'" Christopher said. "When I ran back to the house, I told my wife to call the police."
Officers canvassed the area and there were no other reports of crimes.
The men are considered armed and dangerous and may be traveling in a Dodge Stratus sedan.
Police said they will attempt to track the men using the cell phones they stole from both victims.
The man shot at the Palms Apartments was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Anyone with information concerning these crimes is urged to call Crimeline at (800) 423-TIPS.

What kind of real proof are you looking for?

but i'd like more proof about the other stuff please. i can eat a little bit more crow yet but damn this one is going down a little hard.

... then they find 2 random guys with what looked like an AK-47, and they let them go?
WTF?!

This thread reminds me of the horrible place which is called R&P. No matter how much proof you throw at people they just don't believe you, I can fully say I know why Bush is still in power and still has backers.

Its a great gun, its unfortunately the favorite of a lot of idiots worldwide. Sort of like Integras and ricers

This thread has kept me busy all day. I cant wait till everything developes and I see more info comming in. I think Ron is at school, so he might post more when he is out.
But that link with the police looking for men with AK-47 and then letting these 2 goon go is like WTF. Like others have said, the police should of been on these 2 guys by the dozen!!
Wierd Orlando police, giving the gun to someone who has probably not even been background checked before.
My brother has an Ak, he had to wait about 3-4 days till he was able to get ahold of his rifle.

It's unlikely a leg wound would have killed him... It could put him in a screwy situation if it was the femoral, but more than likely they would have made it to a hospital. However, if you manage to accidently discharge your weapon in public and hit a moving target I think you should probably not be allowed to posess or at the very least carry for a while.

Also I would have thought the bullet would fragment after going thru the metal door but Ron says the police recovered a [intact] bullet. Hmmmm......

if anything, most of what he said alongside his pictures contradicts the facts as presented.
