Dad guilty of falsifying shooter's permit app, will be jailed.

Police had reports Crimo III had threatened his family, and that police had received reports of the boy threatening to commit suicide, and that he 'had expressed an interest in committing a mass shooting' in 2014 or 2015.

Under the plea deal, Crimo Jr. is admitting he was aware his son 'was a substantial risk to others' when he signed Crimo III's FOID card application, Rinehart said.

He got a pretty good deal. He should also be banned from owning or using a firearm for the rest of his life. JMO
