A federally licensed firearms dealer was sentenced to four years in federal prison for selling guns to unlicensed dealers for resale.
- A federally licensed firearms dealer has been sentenced to four years in federal prison after he was convicted for selling guns to unlicensed dealers for resale.
"Today is a good day for ATF and all of its partners with this sentencing. Mr. Ludlow, a Federally Firearms Licensee, knew the laws and intentionally skirted them. By doing so, he has put hundreds of guns on the streets of the DFW metroplex and beyond. Because of his recklessness, we will continue to relive his crimes for years as more of his crime guns are recovered," said ATF Dallas Special Agent in Charge Jeffrey C. Boshek II.
In order to conceal their crimes, Harris and Meza lied on ATF forms, indicating that they were the"actual transferees" of the firearms when they were not. Ludlow also lied on those forms about the dates and locations of transactions, the types of firearms sold, and other details required to comply with background checks.
