Turner Admits Stealing and Selling Hundreds of Guns
Retired Maj. Gen. Carl C. Turner testified before a Senate subcommittee that he took several hundred seized firearms from Chicago and Kansas City police, sold the best for about $2,000, and did not report $6,800 in profits over five years. He claimed no wrongdoing, described himself as a gun hobbyist, and said the guns were for him, not the Army. He acknowledged losses of his ledger and possible additional sales, while denying giving funds to the Army. Additional personnel matters included his dismissal as U S Marshal.
