Denver gun shop owners sentenced to federal prison for hiding gun sales

KDVR-The participating owners of the firearms headquarters in Denver were sentenced to Federal Prison after he admitted that he was guilty of one charge of the plot to defraud the United States, and after one of the involved owners also acknowledged guilty to possess an unregistered firearm.

Campbell Sildon, 26, is a co -owner of Modern Arms and Optics LLC, was sentenced to 50 months in prison and admitted that he was guilty on two charges: conspiracy and possession of an unregistered firearm. Anthony Galligos, 26, who is a company participant in the company, was sentenced to 36 months’ imprisonment for fraud.

The rulings were announced on Wednesday by the US Prosecutor’s Office of the United States in Colorado County.

Conventions of guilt in husbands explain how weapons and modern optics, which are licensed and adapted to federal firearms, have workers in Denver and in many arms offers throughout the state. Federal prosecutors say that Slayden and Gallegos had deceptive practices while conducting work to hide information, mislead and avoid inquiries from the alcohol, tobacco office, firearms and explosives.

Federal investigators say this allowed the company to hide illegal firearms manufacturing practices in federal required records.

The US lawyer, Acting, said. Bishop Green: “The owners and merchants of the arms store play a decisive role in ensuring that the criminals are not falling. This role is to follow the federal weapons laws.” “If they do not do that, we will judge them.”

The US Public Prosecutor’s Office said that the couple also transferred firearms to people who cannot have firearms by law through straw purchases. This means that the person who completed the background examination and federal models was not the true recipient of the firearm. The office said that this allowed Galligos and Deldin to hide certain purchases.

“Slayden and Gallegos send electronic links that allow fill in federal background exam models, from the private sector and exit, by anyone who has access to the link,” wrote the US Prosecutor’s Office in a statement. “This allowed buyers of straw, or in some cases, the bitter weapons buyers themselves, to provide false and subjective distortions easily in relation to the real buyers of firearms.”

Lawyer’s office said that Slayden and Gallegos failed to make “reasonable inquiries” when you doubt the purchase of a personal straw and they will transfer the gun to either solutions or buyers that the two participants know or suspected of being a false recipient.
