The very first thing through my mind when I read the origional post and before I read what anyone else said was that this is a Felony - recieving stolen property.
First off - Gander Mountains first responsibility was to call the police at this point and turn in the person that sold it to them. You have to fill out a bill of sale when you sell a used firearm to any gun dealer.
So Gander Mountain bought it in good faith.
But the man that sold it - didn't.
You would be suprised how many people have a sudden recollection of memory when faced with thousands of dollars of fines and lawyers fees and court costs and years in jail...
Without a doubt - this man would have gotten his gun back without any cost and Gander Mountain should have prosecuted the individual that sold it to them. Probably some crack head that needed money. Most legal situations first name changes but the last name doesn't....
