Firth illegally transported guns across state lines for resale in Kentucky.

Many DEC officers bought and resold their guns without filling out mandatory state police reports.

Five of the guns were resold to unlicensed buyers, and were only confiscated months or years later by state probers.

Eight of the resold weapons 9-mm. and .357 magnum handguns haven't been located by state investigators.

Firth used agency staffers to transport and dispose of guns illegally.
