CAMDEN, N.J. – A Salem County, New Jersey, man with a previous felony record was sentenced today to 96 months in prison for illegally possessing guns and selling guns without a license, U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito announced.

 

Corey Moore, 33, of Salem, previously pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Noel L. Hillman to two counts of an indictment charging him with dealing in firearms without a license and unlawfully possessing firearms after having been convicted of a felony offense. Judge Hillman imposed the sentence today in Camden federal court.

According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:

 

From July 20, 2016, through Dec. 20, 2016, Moore sold firearms. On Oct. 24, 2016, Moore sold two loaded firearms – an Intratec, Model AB10, 9 millimeter Luger pistol, and a Smith & Wesson, Model 642 (marked LadySmith), .38 caliber revolver – to a man who was a confidential informant working with federal law enforcement officers. Moore, who did not have a license, sold the firearms to the informant at a convenience store in Logan Township, New Jersey. He also unlawfully possessed two additional loaded firearms: an Iberia Firearms Inc. (Hi-Point), Model JCP, .40 caliber pistol, and a Ruger, Model Security-Six, .357 magnum caliber revolver. Both of those firearms were fully operable and had been transported in interstate commerce prior to Moore’s possession of them.

 

In addition to the prison term, Judge Hillman sentenced Moore to X years of supervised release.

 

U.S. Attorney Carpenito credited special agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Newark Field Division, under the direction of Acting Special Agent in Charge Christopher Taylor, with the investigation with the investigation leading to today’s sentencing.
