markj,

There are a couple of holes in your theory. First.... tell us how your interstate transactions did NOT violate the two Federal statutes that I posted?

Second, local law enforcement does NOT enforce Federal law, and they do not deal with interstate transactions. Local law enforcement is just that - local - within the state. IF they choose to enforce Federal law, they can hold a suspect for turnover to Federal authorities, but they cannot enforce Federal laws - only aprehend and detain suspects for Federal violations.

Third, it is the ATF that enforces Federal statutes. In the case of a INTERSTATE transfer of firearms, it would be the ATF that would be consulted. Local LEO, as you have provided evidence, probably doesn't know jack squat about Federal interstate firearms transactions laws.

If you are certain you did not violate any laws, I would give the ATF a call and ask them....
