Chicago man gets six years for selling guns in Michigan City

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- After pleading guilty to being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, 42-year-old Allory Smith was sentenced to six years in prison followed by two years of supervised release earlier this week.

According to documents in the case, in January 2023, Smith sold a rifle, a handgun, and ammunition to a buyer in the Michigan City area.

"Smith referred to the rifle as a 'real license to kill' because he believed it had previously been reported stolen," authorities said. "Smith has several prior felony convictions, any one of which prohibit him from possessing the firearms in this case."

Smith is originally from the Chicago area.
