I don't know if I can show my support. According to the article they had multiple violations, including safety, record keeping, and selling guns without proper background checks.

Officials allege the transfer of the firearms to Pennsylvania is a violation.

 

So now we know why they moved the guns. SARCO figured NJ was ultimately going to seize their inventory and bankrupt them so they couldn't fight back legally. Someone in the NJ legal system was looking to make his name over the corpse of SARCO. Can you see the campaign commercial? "He is tough on crime, taking down a notorious gun dealer that was selling guns illegally".

 

Besides, how is it illegal to move the guns to Pa? They could have shipped them to an FFL in PA, so if anything this is even MORE legal, if that's possible.

The background checks thing was explained in the article, that Staff members purchased guns and then sold them to people. If I sold you a rifle, would there be a background check? No? Then what's the difference? If the staff members bought the guns with the intent to resell to someone, that's a straw purchase and they would have charged the staff with it. If the staff members had sold them to prohibited persons, they would have been charged. This is the same as the "gun show loophole" or the "Diner Loophole" or the "Bowling alley loophole" or the "Office Water cooler Loophole" or the "NJGF Loophole".

 

Record Keeping is often nitpicks on paperwork.

<tinfoil hat on> This is just another in a long line of left wing media hit jobs on anything to do with guns. Furthermore, it's apparent that the previous and current AG's have a definite anti-gun bias, which in this case can also be seen as an anti-small business bias. <tinfoil hat off>

 

Regardless, Sarco fixed their wagon - moved their inventory out of gun hating NJ, reduced their business and property taxes in the process, enriched the lives of 34 employees (whom, I read in a previous article, were quite happy that Sarco was relocating to the Land of Freedom, PA, America starts here...) and will likely improve their business overall. Now if they would just honor the prices they advertise, we'd be good to go...

from what i read from other posters, guns were missing from a robbery and not missplaced but who knows..

 

And for paperwork things like nj instead of new jersey are the mistakes..

Right? Not the first time I heard of things like this. Stamped drawings as per the state have to say "John Q Public, Professional Engineer" not "John Q Public, PE"

If this company was illegaly moving it's inventory to another state you would think the Feds would be involved.

It will be intresting to see the move played out. do they hold an ffl in pa ?

 

I am going to assume they do if they moved them there.

If they don't have one already they will shortly. From what I heard the feds have no problem with Sarco it's only this over zealous state.

 

What the paper is not correctly reporting is that out of the 57 missing guns all but 12 or so were later located. The others were stolen by an employee and sold illegally, never heard wheather or not he was prosecuted for it. The BATF is looking at Sarco as a victim of crime, the state is looking at this as an excuse to close another gun dealer down.

 

Where is Christie on this? I thought he wants to keep business in NJ? He is letting Paula Dow run amuck and needs to get rid of her. Another 35 jobs from a 50 year old company going to PA, and if NJ thinks they can stop that (by claiming the guns were shipped there illegally) they are sadly mistaken.

Just trying to get as much money as possible out of this company before the leave the state.

 

I can see the AG saying behind closed doors, "If they are not going to pay our taxes... then fine them till they go bankrupt".

Also, the employee who stole the handguns that later turned up on the streets...the guns were 9mm largo...not regular 9mm..... employee didnt realize or maybe the people buying the guns didnt...either way, they arrested the guy, and got most of the guns back.....Ive also heard that IMA is also making a move to PA...right around the corner from the new Sarco PA location.

yup, good days are coming to easton. Yet more tax money the state of New Jersey wont see from me. I will gladly spend my hard earned money and pay sales tax in PA.

That's actually perfect. Street thug has 9mm Largo gun...puts 9mm Luger in it because he's a stupid street thug. Since 9mm Luger would probably load properly in the mag, the thug loads gun, tucks it behind his pants button/zipper aimed down(called Darwin carry) and runs off to go knock off an old lady or a liquor store. As he's hopping around during the robbery, someone disrespects him so he goes to pop a cap in his a** and then *click*. WTF *click* and runs off with nothing. 9mm largo is 9x23 vs 9mm Luger 9x19 so the firing pin will just push the round forward if it hits at all.
