Hernandez is said to have enlisted a 23-year-old former Klein Forest student, who authorities say bought 37 guns for $42,763. His biggest single purchase came on May 12, 2007, when he purchased eight Bushmasters, also from Carter's Country in Spring.

I'm suprised there were not alarms going off in the heads of the clerk when a 23 yr old kid walked in with $8k+ in cash to buy 8 Bushmasters. I hope the gun store was helping the ATF and made this sale because they were asked to let it go through. Although I believe we should be able to purchase just about anything we want, I don't have a problem with a store owner wanting to know what my intentions are when purchasing firearms by the case. The store owner, after all, does have a vested interest in what happens to them after they walk out of the door. I doubt Carter's in Spring is happy to see this type of publicity. It's not like they need to drum up business...it took me over an hour to check in a rifle to shoot the last time I was there because it was so crowded.
