Gun show owner alleges rights violation.
A gun show owner says the Austin Police Department violated his constitutional rights. Police are now setting the record straight.
The controversy centers around a yellow flyer passed out at the Texas Gun Show in North Austin last weekend. It reads:
“Selling of Firearms”
At the direction of the Austin Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, anyone selling a firearm at this show location will be asked to comply with the following:
1. Any person selling a personal firearm must go through a licensed FFL dealer in the show to transfer the firearm to the new owner.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
2. Selling of firearms in the parking lot will not be permitted.
Thank you for your cooperation!
APD Detective T.J. Vineyard told reporters in a news conference Tuesday, the recommendations were the result of a year long police investigation of the gun shows.
