SIERRA HOTEL LEO’s !! Always keep on your toes. Bad things can happen when you least expect it.
Carrying an illegal firearm, probably for unlawful activity. Since he was released he should be followed to see where he will get his next gun. Then Officers can arrest the person(s) selling these weapons. Hopefully ATF is working on theses cases to locate and arrest the dealers.
