According to court documents, 22-year-old Nathaniel Mead went to the Crossroads of the West Gun Show on Sept. 24 and tried to buy firearms with a false ID from the Arizona State Armory booth. Mead also allegedly filled out an ATF form with false information.

Employees working at the booth called police, saying that they recognized him from previous instances where allegedly used different identification to buy guns.

Police say Nathaniel Mead was arrested after he tried to buy two guns at a Mesa Convention Center gun show with a forged Arizona drivers license.

"They advised that [Mead] was at their booth and attempting to purchase 2 firearms using a false ID," court documents read.

Police arrested Mead and said they found other fake ID's in his wallet.

Mead was booked into jail on a $15,000 bond. He is accused of forgery.

No mention in the article of why he was using fake ID. Prohibited possessor?

Most likely cartel related. They use all kinds of people to straw-purchase firearms for them. I'd be curious to know what type of firearm he was attempting to buy...anything 5.7x28, 7.62x39, 10mm, or 38 Super would definitely be cartel activity. Since he was in possession of multiple ID's, my guess is that he knows about the Form 3310.4, which FFL's are required to submit whenever an individual purchases 2 or more handguns in a 5-day period...thus the multiple identities.

I honestly couldn't care less if he was buying them for the cartels, they keep most of their violence in Mexico and kill each other, win/win for me.

Have a great, gun carryin', Kenpo day

I read an article stating he was a California resident trying to buy a firearm at the gun show.
