Shawn Nealon and I were married to cousins and we were both in the same Army Reserve unit the 8th Battalion of the 40th Armor at Fort Huachuca in the mid 1990s.
Shawn ran the Fort Benning shooting match as a contractor annually in Georgia when charged for selling a weapon to an out of state resident when he had a class III license.
He ran out of money
He asked me to write a letter to a federal judge for him about him and I happily did in 2010.
He was subsequently brough lawsuit against on in 2020, but the case was dismissed.
No one can explain why they keep going after this guy.
My issue is by charging him in the first case he would not be able to tell the Army if he was approached to sell firearms to illegals as turned out to be the case in Fast and Furious.
He had to go through a background check to host the event on Fort Benning.
