The two Las Vegas men worked as forklift drivers during the world's largest firearms trade show, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. The men stole so many items that the spreadsheet spanned two pages. The pair stole 65 firearms from four companies: Remington Arms, LKCI, Blaser USA and Legacy Sports International, the Review-Journal reported. Specifically, the two stole: • Remington machine guns, rifles and pistols • Denel Land Systems machine guns • Mauser rifles • Glock pistols • Sauer & Sohn rifles • Advanced Armament silencers. The reason the men were caught is because the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the hosts of SHOT Show, require all manufacturers to remove firing pins from weapons displayed during the show, meaning they're inoperable. The Department of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) were made aware of the situation on a Wednesday and alerted local Federal Firearm Licensees (FFLs) to “be attentive for any individuals seeking gunsmithing services or, more specifically, firing pins.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Sheridan Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Allegedly one of the thieves was later checked into a local hospital for unspecified issues. This is what they found: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 What’s great is they will get tried in Nevada and Federal Court. I hope the Feds work a deal where Nevada lets them take them and lock them in Leavenworth...or ADX in Colorado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I guess an order for 65 firing pins would kind of stick out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Bet a background check by their employer would have shown much..... Bet this ain't their first 'go-around' either..... OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Nah! They didn't fill out any Form 4473's! Guess Nevada also doesn't have a waiting period...especially for machine guns (were these really MG's...or the writer's mistaken idea that all guns, semi-, etc. are "machine guns"????)!

Sedalia Dave Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Quote When agents searched Foster and Limon's homes they found the stolen firearms, despite neither one of them having any guns registered to them. Would it have been ok if they were registered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remington, or at least some subsidiary of theirs has made M4s for the military. It's possible a display machine gun was stolen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I'll bet more than just these 2 were involved. You ever seen how 'heavy' the security is for the SHOT show in the receiving dock? OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack, SASS #20451 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Dutch tere were plenty of full auto firearms on display at SHOT this year. It isn't open to the public. Have to be a dealer, etc. to get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Been lucky enough to attend SHOT many times over the years(Yes-I do have 'friends' in the gun world).
