OKC gun show dealer caught with felony conviction, selling stolen weapons

[Lurker66]

A cop can ask you your name for any reason he wants. Question is, are you lawfully required to answer. In most cases, the answer is no, you do not have to answer nor provide any ID (if you're driving a vehicle that's a different story). The only way a cop can force you to answer is if he has reasonable suspicion to believe you may have committed a crime. The deal is, the cops know exactly what constitutes "reasonable suspicion ". In the vast majority of cases, if a cop says he had reasonable suspicion , a judge is not going to disagree.
As far as calling for a check, a cop is never "off duty". He can always call and have a check ran.

Yes a on duty LEO can ask....and maybe you must comply. An OFF DUTY policeman can ask but as far as being compelled...nope. He might not even be in his jurisdiction. I really dont think an off duty cop can "call in" a name, that would mean they are detaining you.

Im still not buying into this story. Off duty and acting strange, doesnt warrent calling in a name and running a background check. Theres more to it. Somebody has an agenda. Or an axe to grind.

My advice: unless you're driving a car, don't show them ****.

This is golden advice. There is no reason to present your ID to ANYONE unless you are driving.

Yep, tell'em no thanks, and hold on tight. Tell whoever your with to hang on to the phone no matter what.

Point is, the felonious scum had firearms. I'm glad he got caught. Be careful who you deal with eh?

Or carrying a gun per the SDA. Title 21, Section 1290.8.

Anyone think maybe the officer recognized the guy? I mean, I know tons of people walking around town that have felony convictions. I also know our local cops know tons more. They see them all the time, pull them over, run checks on them, etc. So maybe this guy was just stupid and is a KNOWN felon and local sleaze whom all the cops are aware of, and one of them recognized him as he walked into the show. Simple enough. Happens all the time. Our cops see people in town driving they know they busted for DUI and shouldn't have their licenses back, so they bust them for driving suspended too, and usually end up with more charges stemming from that PC stop.

Anyways...

He works at Walmart in Mustang, seen him there more than once. Maybe those of us who shop there can now get some more 22, looks like he had it all!! He lives in Mustang also, so I don't think he was recognized by OKC PD. Looks like he had not been in any trouble since 1985 when he was convicted according to oscn anyways. Stupid, YES!
