PPM Version:
In Kansas, there's a married couple that runs a hair salon that's also a GUN STORE. And on Wednesday, they were busted because it turns out the husband has a previous felony conviction, so it's illegal for him to own all the guns they're selling. They're both facing at LEAST 15 years in federal prison.
Full Story:
50-year-old Jeffrey Eberhart of Augusta, Kansas and his 41-year-old wife Tracey own a GREAT business. Tracey's Dream Weavers Salon and Sporting Goods. It's a hair salon . . . AND a gun store.
--The slogan on their website is "Where beauty and bullets collide." But let's hope they're better at hair styling than gun sales.
--When Tracey got them a federal license to sell guns, she never mentioned her husband. And there was a reason. Jeffrey was convicted of felony arson in 1982 . . . and as a felon, it's illegal for him to own guns.
--By opening the store, Jeffrey is now in possession of a TON of guns.
--The ATF found out about Jeffrey's involvement at a gun show in January, and started an investigation. On Wednesday, Tracey was charged with aiding a felon in possessing firearms, and providing firearms to a convicted felon.
--Jeffrey was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm as a felon and dealing firearms without a license. Tracey could get up to 20 years in federal prison and $500,000 in fines . . . Jeffrey could get 15 years and $500,000 in fines.
(--The store's number is 316-775-3050, but we doubt there's anyone there to answer. Check out more ridiculous businesses here.)
