Furrow also had been a licensed firearms dealer and had been convicted of a crime of violence which disqualified him to possess firearms. The police knew of this disqualification, yet did not search his property to obtain firearms that they could have known he possessed (such as the gun mentioned below). When asked why they had not searched Furrow's property, the police are said to have replied that they just hadn't got around to it.
