Turner Admits Profiting From Seized Guns Politically Charged Hearing
Retired Maj. Gen. Carl C. Turner testified he took hundreds of guns seized by Chicago and Kansas City police, sold the best for about $2,000 and kept the proceeds totaling roughly $6,800 over five years. He claimed no wrongdoing, portraying himself as a gun hobbyist and donor, while Chicago officials disputed his personal use claim and said most guns were for Army training. Senate investigators prepared to hear further testimony from Chicago Police Supt. James Conlisk and Chief Clarence Kelley.
