I paid fixer $12,500 for gun license and wound up with nothing
So what if he greased some palms to get a gun license? That’s not stopping a Brooklyn landlord from fighting for his right to bear arms.
The building owner is complaining that the FBI blocked his bid last year to get a carry permit from the NYPD — after he paid more than $10,000 to a fixer who was busted this week for allegedly bribing cops.
The joys of a may-issue jurisdiction.
I found it fascinating that:
- After that permit was issued, and before they delivered it to you, they shook him down for more money
- They knew he was a felon, and they issued him a permit anyway,
- That he's upset that after he'd paid $12,500 in bribes to the NYPD, he still failed the NICS check.
Just goes to show - don't try to bribe the cops. Bribe the politicians.
