A former D.C. police officer pleaded guilty to gun charges yesterday in U.S. District Court in Greenbelt.A lot about this story makes absolutely no sense to me--but then again, I'm not trained to think like an "Only One."
Edwin Kennedy, 36, of Chesapeake, admitted to illegally transporting a firearm and having an illegal shotgun. According to a statement of facts entered in court, Kennedy found a shotgun in Washington last year while on duty. He then took it home, and with the help of his 15-year-old daughter, sawed off the barrel to 14 inches, an illegal length. Kennedy then took the illegal gun back to Washington, where he arranged for the D.C. police to recover it.
When Kennedy learned he was under investigation for the modifications, he purchased a different shotgun and cut that barrel down to a legal length. Then prosecutors say he took pictures of it and showed those to authorities as if it were the original shotgun. But he later acknowledged to authorities that it was a different gun. He will be sentenced in May.

ReplyDeleteAgree, something else is obviously 'up' with this one. Has the distinct odor of fish. Bet that the shotgun was used in a much more illegal manner than what's currently known....
