A couple of additions from someone who knew Randy and knows all of his extended family today. My father was good friends with Randy as teens and again after this fiasco. We drank a lot of white russians together at Wet Goods, The Last Draw and his garage. We put nitrous in his blazer and wrenched on our harleys.

Randy was personally awarded $100,000. The other 3 million was split among his children.

Randy told me that he sawed the guns to a still legal length - by 1/2". He claimed the feds then shortened them further. The tool markings on the shotties did not match Randy's confiscated blades. This info is missing from all stories - media, trial and even Congressional hearing. Only Randy's family and friends know this detail. And now so do you.

I see Randy's sister quite regularly. Also his nieces. I talk to his daughter Sara several times a year by phone.

For the part you have no reason to believe - I spent a LOT of time with Sara when they returned to Jefferson, Iowa after the mess. I was too young and stupid to feel ready to settle down. For me, she is "the one that got away."
