Was just at a gunshop finishing up a layaway on a 1911 and a couple of police came in. They asked if anyone knew <guys name>. The gunshop owner said yes he had met him, he'd just been in to get a gun and the paperwork had come back denied.
They said he had no record or warrants they they could see and the tip they had came from a database, but it didn't tell them what the problem was other than he had tried to buy a gun. They had no warrant or reason to arrest and just wanted to talk to him, they said. When asked whether they normally do this for denials they said they normally don't get notifications of that.
What is up with that?
PS. the 1911 turns out was traded in by one of the cops that responded to the tip, as the gunshop owner mentioned which one it came from
