Gerbig arrest
depserv:
Anyone have any details on Ashley Gerbig being arrested? I caught something about it in the newspaper awhile back. I did business with him and his father many years ago and found them to be ethical and law-abiding. I've heard some bad things about ATF snitches. Anyone know what happened in this case?

I don't get a registration page but for those that do here is the important part:
"On Monday, Gerbig, 36, pleaded guilty to a single count as part of an agreement with prosecutors.
In exchange, Assistant U.S. Attorney David Wear said he would ask that the other charges be dismissed at Gerbig's sentencing in January.
He said Gerbig sold a Nodak Spud LLC AK-47-type side-folding stock assault rifle March 7 to a man who admitted to him he was a convicted felon. Federal and state law forbids felons from buying or possessing firearms."

But Ive dealt with the Gerbig,s for many years, since he only had a couple of tables at a gun show, he grew fast. taking a whole section of tables, sad that this has to happen to someone, hope he is cleared of the charges

Thanks for the reply. I think it was the Journal piece I saw; just ran across it laying on a table somewhere. I don't normally read the Journal because if I want to read fiction I'll read something like The Hobbit. The Journal editors are good liars though, and as such I'm sure they will avoid saying anything that can be shown to be factually untrue, so I'd guess the information in the piece is accurate; I just thought maybe somebody might have something that would explain why someone that I remember as being so careful to do everything right would get in this kind of trouble.

There's a lot of strange things going on here. I'm not sure why he originally lost his FFL but it does appear that he continued to sell guns after giving it up. I'm sure the ATF had their eye on him, and I wouldn't put it past them to try to either entrap someone or outright lie.
