Excerpt:

OLATHE, KAN. – A Kansas firearms distributor was indicted today on federal charges of paying more than $1 million in bribes and kickbacks to executives of the company that manufactures Glock pistols, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said.

John Sullivan Ralph, III, 40, Olathe, Kan., who was owner of Global Guns & Hunting Inc. of Olathe, Kan., doing business as OMB Guns, is charged with one count of conspiracy, 11 counts of wire fraud and10 counts of money laundering.

The indictment alleges Ralph secretly paid executives of Glock to receive preferential treatment over other distributors of firearms, including directing potential customers to his company, giving his company priority access to limited products, steering government contracts and sales to government agencies of firearms and accessories to his company, and providing confidential Glock information to him.

I didn't see anything that should be illegal.

Damn! OMB has Cprod Aluminum Mags for $50 each! Too bad they're probably getting shut down.

Not shocked. Glock has a long history of this sort of behavior from what I know.


S&W pulled OMB's LE distributor account some years ago for screwing LE/First Responders.

The government does all of this daily... I don't see why no one else can.

In other news no officials from the DOJ, have been indicted for their roles in Operation Fast and Furious and members of the Obama administration simply resign in lieu of being called before Congress.

When they were the only source for the FBI/100 Anniversary guns, it was obvious something was wrong.

Here is a better excerpt:

The indictment alleges Wood and Dutton provided Ralph with equipment and software to allow him to convert firearms sold with the law enforcement discount (blue label) to firearms sold at the premium price to the commercial market (red label). Ralph is alleged to have sold at least 14,000 pistols to commercial buyers – including Cabela’s – which Glock sold to Ralph for resale to law enforcement agencies.

14000 Blue Label guns sold as Red Label. That profit more than covers the bribe.
