Small shop but at one time Fred had long guns stacked 3 or 4 deep along the back wall....

Aww, I love those old gun stores!! such a shame it's closing..

The owner a few years back did some Federal time for 1,000? Missing firearms.
His store was absolutely packed with merchandise.

It'd be great if we had a report and or pics of the auction.

I was a teenager in the 70's, growing up in Farmland. Spend a fair chunk of time hanging out with Fred at Ludco and at the Farmland Conservation Club 3D archery shoots before opening day every year. They always had a big giveaway at the 3D event.

If it tells you anything, Freddie got caught in a sting arranged by the Obama appointed US attorney Joe Hogsett.

Hogsett made a name for himself in the Democrat party, setting up stings like this using Federal resources and agencies. It apparently worked well, as he is now the mayor of Indy. Apparently he is doing a great job up there, as he keeps getting reelected.

I went there a couple times and it was amazing to say the least! Brand new handguns stacked on top of one another in the cases, long guns stacked 3-4 deep along the walls, ammo and gear piled everywhere! You could barely move and there’s no way you could see everything. I’m sure there’s a lot to that story the public will never know.

Definitely an interesting place and story from it seemed like years ago

 

[HCALREF]

I was in there a couple times several years ago. I have never seen such a small building holding so many guns.

No modern hand guns are in auction.

I wonder if these weren't seized or acquired later.

From a WTHR13 article.
"The government is seeking forfeiture of all the weapons in Ludington's store."

i grew up in Albany, my first two or three guns came from Ludco.

It was all seized, guns, ammo and cash.

If Freds paperwork was in order and he didn't sell with cash out of the back door...

...or maybe he was just a tad sloppy and didn't care for gov't regulation and bull any more than a lot of the rest of us do?

Yep, 70 agents showed up for "the raid," along with all of the Indiana news stations. Interesting how they knew to be there as the agents all arrived?

Do you knowingly sell firearms to felons?
Fred did with full knowledge of his responsibilities with having a FFL.
His books were missing what, 997 log ins.
Gotta wonder how many good folks were and will be impeded with his backdoor selling.

That's what Fred served time for. Who knows what he really did?
The guy in the video above your post is capable of anything to advance his career. Many believe nothing that comes from his mouth.

You probably believe there was no fraud in the last couple elections either, right?

Why would you believe I would think that?

And why would I give two about Indianapolis's mayor?
I have Alexandrias mayor to worry about.
