A 64-year-old Erie man who tried to sell an antique pistol on the Discovery Channel TV show "American Guns" in December is now accused of stealing the $20,000 gun revolver from a private museum in New Mexico.
Wylie Gene Newton is seen on the show, which is filmed at the Gunsmoke Guns in Wheat Ridge, trying to sell two black powder revolvers. A viewer contacted Santa Fe authorities looking for a stolen 1800s vintage Colt Dragoon black powder

"What's the point in having a gun if you can't shoot it," he says as the cameras roll.
In a separate shot, the store's owner and the show's star, Rich Wyatt, says, "Wylie pulls out a museum-quality Colt Dragoon, and then he tells us he shoots it. That's nuts. I like this guy's style."
Last Thursday, undercover detectives from the Wheat Ridge Police Department met with Newton and offered to buy the stolen gun, leading to his arrest.
He is being held in the Jefferson County Detention Center on a warrant from New Mexico.
Colorado court records show Newton has been arrested several times, including charges of assault, drunken driving, obstruction of justice, intimidating a witness and other charges.

Heh, reminds me of the time I was in a local coin shop, and this bum came in off the street trying to sell one of those new "gold" dollar coins. Shop owner said, "sure, I'll give you a dollar for it", and the guy was outraged because "you cheatin' me man, this is REAL GOLD, man!" He stomped off all pissed, it was hilarious.

And does that idiot look like he would even know how to load a BP revolver?
