NEW YORK — New York City will pay to install a better security camera system in a Virginia gun store that will make other changes to its sales practices, resolving a lawsuit the city filed two years ago.
The city will pay for a computer log for The Bob Moates Sport Shop of Midlothian, Va., that will alert clerks when a person attempting to buy a gun has made previous purchases of weapons linked to crime. The store will buy its own equipment to help spot fake IDs.
The Virginia store was one of 27 gun shops in five states that the city sued in 2006. Mayor Michael Bloomberg claimed the shops were making it too easy for people to buy guns on behalf of criminals.
