Brian and his dad were great when they first opened. Attitudes definitely changed as they got bigger.

Couldn't happen to nicer group as far as I am concerned.  The arrogance there was stifling.

One thing I have not seen yet are if the charges are felonies or misdemeanors.

Wow, very dumb.  They were either very lazy, or doing shady things with those missing guns.

The punishment here is not anything approaching serious (to me, anyway)...

If the plea agreements are accepted by the Court, the Hasslers have agreed to a term of three months of home detention and two years of supervised release.  The Hasslers have also surrendered their Federal Firearms License and will complete the audit in progress by the ATF.

I'm no fan of the ATF, and it's debatable how much should be logged by vendors, but what they were doing seems so far out of bounds this doesn't appear to be sufficient.  Yeah, they'll lose their business, but that needed to happen anyway it seems.  No significant penalties aside from a federal conviction, which I know ain't nothing...but still.
