This !

Been in the firearms trade for a fairly long time . All three shops I have worked at have had people walk in with loaded guns / loaded mags (some in the gun some not) / live round stuck in the chamber etc etc .

It happens in police stations, centre fire fired inside the building, guy kept his job, would be the pot calling the kettle black?

This is not just Guncity this happens at. Ask any gunsmith and they will have seen it once I suspect.....

From what I read, it sounds more like someone has turned up with a (loaded?) firearm going to Guncity rather than coming out of there. As much as people want to paint them as bad guys, they do follow safety procedures and I would very much doubt they would knowingly let anyone leave with a loaded rifle. And finally there is only one person responsible for this and that is the person who was in possession of the firearm.

David Tipple fired shots into the air after he had an argument with someone he thought had damaged his car.

This was a seperate time to when he shot at thieves at his house.

Tipple in fact was bailed up by a mob of early boyracers,who also had a beef with his sons.after threats of GBHto his person he produced a P/A12g and fired 1/2shots over their heads .they shat themselves and pissed off sharpish.
IIRC whilst he was a guest of the US justice system his two sons who were managing the empire in Dads absence got in the shit when their so called safe rifle range on the family hacienda proved not so . .223 rounds screamed across roads and neighbouring properties.apparently they were entertaining aussie guests and trying out some of the latest shop goodies. that also came within a gnats pubic hair of GC losing a dealers license ,and police fury but again they proved to be able to emulate john conti,the immortal mafioso "teflon don"and slip out of it.
heather duplessis allen and the .22 case is fairly well self explanatoryand has been extensively postmortmed on here so its a moot point.

granted that may well be ,but the fact remains that unfortunately guncity and the tipple family have a somewhat chequered history with the sorts of incidents as Im sure you are aware.
if mr systolic is alluding to the incident i think he is -it did not happen in a carpark it happened on Barbadoes St IIRC very soon after the original guncity shop opened-and the police went at DT no holds barred,but DT somehow escaped their clutches.Avery reliable former constable friend of mine spoke of some senior CHCH police having a dislike verging on hatred of DT and would have given an eyetooth to stop him in his tracks.alas that was not to be.
personally ive done quite a lot of business at guncity -having developed an approach to do so and it has worked .dont get me started on H&F and a certain infamous staff member whom i correctely thought (and later validated)thought himself goods gift to wildfowling and an emminent author on the same.oh shit when the dark side finally emerged it was viya condios double quick.
