Gun collector details undercover agent during Moore case
San Francisco reports say an undercover federal firearms agent examined a gun Sara Jane Moore bought and, a day later, she shot at President Ford. Mark Fernwood, an antique weapons collector, recalled the agent and a man named Chuck visiting his Danville home to view guns while Moore paid for a pistol with a $125 check. The gun was seized after Moore hinted at assassination plans, then she replaced it with a .38 revolver and fired at the President outside a San Francisco hotel. The ATF confirmed contact with Moore but gave no further details.
