I thought this was funny. Rich Wyatt was sued by the Town of Alma for the return of his badge and other credentials.

According to the lawsuit, Wyatt used the credentials to get into the Colorado State Capitol building in March to participate in discussions regarding pending gun legislation.
He allegedly represented himself as a retired chief of police and then presented his badge.
“On the strength of these credentials, Wyatt was apparently admitted to the State Capitol while carrying a firearm,” according to the complaint.
He could be in some deep shit if this is all true, no? Hope so....d-bag.

"Retired."
Yeah.
How much of his chief time did he spend in jail?
Anyone else remember when Alma was known for being a town of ex-convicts?

Only thing I found right off hand, and remember reading, was when his FFL was suspended, or was tied up in some legal process just after the visit from the Obama SS

Ah, Rich. When I was growing up, my grandmother used to rent rooms to gunsmiths and Colorado School of Mines students. We knew Rich pretty well, as he employed many of the tenants. That guy has always been an ass.
did he testify during the hearings or participate in any meetings with legislators? if so, what did he say?

Not to the best of my knowledge. He was too busy primping for the camera and rubbing peeps with Peter Boyles.
This is one place where dealers really screwed the pooch. When I went to the hearings there were only a small contingent of dealers that showed up.
Had they been smart enough to set their petty pissing matches aside and present a united front they may have made a tangible difference.

Huge fans of Discovery Channel show called American Guns and the Wyatts, always said if we visited Colorado would stop in and visit. Ended up making it a very dispappointing Christmas for myself and husband and not so fond of the famous Rich Wyatt, Gunsmoke gun shop and employess.
Stopped by the Gunsmoke shop on September 13, 2013 in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. There were approximatelt four employees in the shop just sitting around. Spent time looking, attempting to purhase a holster which wouldn't fit, and a couple of t-shirts. Inquired about a black powder rifle kit, since they could no longer sale other firearms due to loss of FFL. Guess I should gave questioned ethics then, but I didn't. The employees were more than willing to offer further information about how the shop had been burglarized etc. My husband looked at the kit, and was told by the employee "gun kits were purchased from an estate sale, box is messed up a little, but all parts were inventoried by him personally and the kit is complete". My husband discussed it how he already had the matching pistol and would like the rifle but was not sure it was the right time since the the kits were marked $399.99 each. The employee told him to think about it and if he changes his mind they could mail it to him, and gave him a business card. You see we were visiting from eastern Nebraska.
After we returned home from our trip I decided to purchase the rifle kit for my husband for Christmas. I contacted a friend whom we stayed with while visiting in September. Explained what I wanted and he picked the rifle kit up on October 31, 2013. The employee also told him, "the box is taped, but could gaurantee all parts were there, he checked them himself. My friend bought it for $430.39 with tax. He brought it all the way to Omaha when he came to visit for Thanksgiving. He was a litte worried about the condition of the box and explained his conversation with the employee, and I explained we were told the same thing. I wrapped the box and placed it under the tree. Christmas day came, the box was opened husband surprised as was I to find ony half of the rifle kit as enclosed, it was missing Instructions, screws, color case hardened lock, hooked breach, screw adjustment rear sight, blade front site, double st triggers, brass wedge plate, brass nose cap, and brass thimbles. Pretty much the entire gun was missing.
Contacted Gunsmoke on 12/27/2013, and spoke with Bob and was told Rich Wyatt would be out of town until January 2 or 3, 2014. Took my name and number and said Rich Wyatt would contact me. January 3rd came and no contact with Rich Wyatt or any employee of Gunsmoke. Called on the January 4, 2014, and was told Rich Wyatt had not returned, but assured would call as soon as he did (Bob again). Waited until today and made another call to Gunsmoke, spoke to Bob again, Rich said to relay there would be no refund because when the gun left it was complete. All good and well, but it was not. You see the gun was never opened by anyone ecept the employees of Gunsmoke who gauranteed the kit was complete when they opened it to inventory the rifle kit. The ends of the box were completely taped, and nothing, absolutely nothing could have fallen out of the box. I've seen in other reports Rich Wyatt actually spoke to other customers, calling them liars. I guess I should be lucky at least he did't try to intimidate me. I am a Military wife whos husband served his country for 28 years, if my husband leaving on deployments did not intimidate me, Rich Wyatt cetainly would not. I do not work, I am disabled, so spending $400 for a rifle kit was pretty extreme, but I wanted my husband to have something he would enjoy. I guess being a millionaire like Rich Wyatt, driving his flag wrapped truck gives him special priviledge to rip off the American public. Rich Wyatt is a coward and dishonest business man. In our house we don't hide behind our Flag, we stand beside it.
Please let you military friends and family know of this disgraceful company and man. Unless the word gets out more people will line the pockets of Rich Wyatt and Gunsmoke.
ANOTHER CLASSIC WYATT TALE...
In mid January 2013 I visited Gunsmoke with the intention of purchasing a 9mm gun. I was told the model I wanted was not available and would be ordered. Expected delivery would be approx 2 weeks. I paid $756 on my credit card. Weeks came and went. I called the store many times asking for a date to come by and pick up my gun. I live in Colorado Springs and did not want to make the drive up unless the gun was there. Several employees told me the gun was on back order and would be a couple more weeks. I finally talked with the owner, Rich, who was very rude. He said for me to stop calling them and they will call me when the gun is available. I asked for a refund. Rich said I signed a receipt stating no refunds on special orders. I said this was not a special order, it was an unfulfilled order. He then threated me by saying he would take off his gun and I could meet him outside the store. He then hung up on me. In June while listening to the TroubleShooter show, I heard another caller say Gunsmoke lost their Firearms Dealer's License and could not sell any guns. I called again and spoke with Rich on Friday, July 12, 2013, six months after my original purchase visit, to request a refund for non receipt of merchandise and their licensing issue meant they could not fulfill my order. Rich told me "no refunds on special orders" and to "shove it up my @**" and hung up. I then called my credit card company to dispute the charge since I cannot receive my product. This dispute case is pending. I cannot believe the level of rudeness Rich Wyatt, Gunsmoke Gun Shop and the employees displayed. This company should be out of business.
Assuming they are still open, how on earth are they possibly staying in business?
I was under the impression they were closed down. Anyone else know different?

I drive by that rat hole all the time. For a few months I hardly saw any vehicles parked there. I think they have weekend classes or something. Weekends the lot is half full or so. Weekdays same trucks parked in the back.
I've only been in there once. No one said a word to me.
I went in there back when the show was still on the air. I have a S&W Baby Russian nickel 38 top break 1877 revolver that I wanted appraised. I know this gun is not in top condition but it functions and is all there. Some of these in nice condition have sold for as much as $1200, but I thought if it was worth $300 I'd be good. They acted like they were doing me a favor to get it off my hands and offered me $25, still have it.
But, I'm AWESOME! I'm a REAL MAN! Why is everybody picking on me?

I have to be honest. I was in the bathroom, making some Obama dolls, and one guy came to mind who reminds me of Rich Wyatt. There's a guy who owns a repair shop in Denver who is just as full of himself. I once interviewed with him and the interview was more of him beating his chest about how good he is and how green their shop is. I think he blew a load over Hickenpooper being governor. I declined the job there needless to say.
Do you think Rich still has the Bat-Copter?

I used to be known there when they were on Wads. Dave Clevinger worked on a few of my pistols while he worked for Wyatt. For all of the times I was in there during that period, I rarely saw that jerk.

I live a stones throw away and see the shop at least once a day. I think he or someone does classes there....some weekends the parking lot is full. Usually it's not though. I know one day I saw a bunch of people outside lined up looked like they were doing drills.

Was back home in NE a couple years ago and talking to some locals when the show was still on the air. They were talking about making a special trip so they could stop in the shop and meet them. They looked at me like I was a jerk when I tried to explain how most Colorado folks are not fans.

My dad, back in MO, was a fan of the show. I explained the same thing to him and gave examples of why we aren't fans. He was surprised but decided dropping by their store the next time he was in CO was probably a waste of time. Funny how television can depict one side of things that really doesn't give a decent or accurate picture of how things really are.

LOL I think they were confused because I wasn't talking about Iowa, Colorado, Texas, or Oklahoma football, so I must be using it out of context.

On another forum they were going on and on about him taking a helicopter to Golden CO to buy a gun...they were shocked when I informed them that Golden was probably closer to drive to than the airport where he took the helicopter from.

Yup- On the S&W forum, a member asked about buying the "Wyatt Deep Cover" 637. I chimed in about not wanting anything associated with "Gunsmoke" or "Wyatt" and gave a few examples why. From some of the responses, you would guessed I had just directly insulted their mother.
The S&W forum is full of chumps. I signed up there to ask about M&P's rusting the first time I rusted mine out. Before posting I did a search and found a thread where someone else was having the same issues and they called that guy names and banned him. I never even posted. Idiots.

They seem OK to me, but I only hangout in the wheelgun and metal frame auto sections. People just won't believe that poor Wyatt brought his troubles upon himself, and is NOT some unfortunate victim of an anti-gun push by the IRS/ATF/etc.
It really was just that one thread, but it was enough to turn me off from posting there. I still search if I need something M&P specific.

Feel sorry for the poor guy waiting 4 years for his gun.........no, I'd have an attorney working on that issue waaay before this.

The attorney would likely cost many, many times more than what the gun was worth, no? So the customer will lose either way. Only choice is to lose by what degree.....
