Kansas City man accused of being one-man illegal gun store
A Kansas City man has been charged with selling more than a dozen firearms, including assault-style rifles, to undercover federal agents.
Cory K. Adams, 29, was named in a 17-count grand jury indictment returned Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Kansas City.
Adams is charged with eight counts of using a firearm during a drug trafficking crime, possession of a stolen firearm and distribution of methamphetamine, marijuana and ecstasy.
Court documents allege that investigators bought drugs and firearms from Adams in multiple transactions in July, August and September.
Among the weapons he allegedly sold were several AK-47-type rifles and several rifles and handguns that fire the same ammunition as M-16 and AK-47 rifles.
In all, Adams sold 14 firearms during the investigation, according to court documents.
