This guy Olofson is going to prison for more than 2-3 years, more like 6-10. This was not a case of the big , bad Federal government coming after a legitimate guy. Mr. Olofson decided to go into the business of illegal modifying AR-15s to allow for full auto fire. He is a criminal and deserves the attention Federal Law enforcement has focused on him. Don’t believe the lies of a criminal that a jury FOUND Guilty.

So true. But I’m still hopeful this cluster gets straightened out. I’m hoping that happens before, not after I have to put up with incarceration.

What Turk said. This is ESPECIALLY true in the Scooter Libby era: even if you’re innocent differences in your recollection and the always truthful agent combined with 12 GFW’s in the jury box = jail for you.

If your implying my recollection of facts has changed at all BC I’ll call you on your BS. Show any page and post numbers on arfcom where I have ever “changed my story.” You can’t, facts don’t change. As such nether dose my “story.”

Folks like you need to keep their head out of their posterior long enough to see the truth, although I understand that can be challenging at times with all the preconceived notions out there.

BC: I’m willing to cut anyone a break on ass covering when they are looking at 2.5 years in the federal clink.

It’s ass-covering. The guy changed his story about ten different times within the span of fifteen pages on the AR forums; this is just the most recent iteration.

Bottom line is what I said earlier: He was an idiot, and while that’s not usually a crime, this time it was.

Here’s a link to an address by a law school prof about the value of not talking to the police:

http://www.regent.edu/admin/media/schlaw/LawPreview/

You are 100% right about not talking to the police: NEVER, NEVER, NEVER. Even if you are innocent, didn’t know the victim and had never been to the city where the crime took place, you can still be convicted by your own words. This is especially true in the case of a federal police officer: it is a serious crime to lie to a federal investigator. What if you tell the truth? Doesn’t matter! If they can find just two people who can contradict you, you’re going to jail.

So don’t talk to ‘em. At all.
