Operators of a Kansas business that advertised “where beauty and bullets collide”  are now heading to federal prison.

A federal judge sentenced Jeffrey Eberhart of Augusta to five years for dealing firearms without a license.  His wife Tracey got three years for failing to keep records of firearms sales.   Each pleaded guilty.

They operated Traceys Dream Weavers Salon And Sporting Goods, a combined beauty parlor and gun shop in Augusta.

The store advertised that it was “Where Beauty and Bullets Collide.”

In his plea, Jeffrey Eberhart admitted that he bought and sold hundreds of firearms at the store and at gun shows from Oct. 1, 2009, to Aug. 22, 2012. Throughout that time, he was not licensed as a federal firearms dealer because he was a previously convicted felon.

In her plea, Tracey Eberhart admitted that while she held a license as a federal firearms dealer she failed to keep records and make reports to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives on at least 33 firearms transactions.
