Firearms Seized From Alien Residents Under Wheeled Law
Justice Pringle's court handles a busy docket as Deputy Wardens target aliens with unregistered firearms. Since last evening fines totaling 1250 dollars have been collected from aliens without licenses. Confiscated items include 30 shotguns, 28 rifles, and about 40 revolvers. About 135 complaints remain to be served with plans to finish by Saturday. Confiscated guns become state property and may be sold at a public auction in Helena or auctioned in Anaconda to local sportsmen. The Wheeler law requires aliens to register guns with the county sheriff, exposing possession without a license. Many alien owners are attempting to dodge court by transferring or selling firearms, but registration evidence proves unlawful possession. Purchasers risk confiscation and loss of funds if guns are seized.
