ATF conversation
While browsing about in a local gun shop the other day, a fella came in, all cocky like, to announce he had just had an interview with 2 ATF agents. The story went something like this: note, this is all heresay.
ATF came to his home, he was at work, his wife/girlfriend gives them his cell number. ATF calls the guy at work, he agrees to meet in a parking lot on the way home. There were inquiries made by the agents concerning his frequency of multiple purchases of the same low cost handguns. They asked to search his residence and he did not grant permission. There was some bold talk by all parties, and the interview ended.
There were half a dozen fellows present during the telling of this tale, with comments by most. Apparently there is a trend in that area that involves individuals purchasing multiple Heritage SA's revolvers, Hi-Points and Taurus semi's, then taking them to community sale days and selling the guns first come first served slightly over their cost to whoever pays. No questions asked, and the seller leaves $50 +/- richer depending on how many he sold and at what price.

Big difference in my mind as opposed to selling a gun to a guy you've known for years, in your club, a relative, etc. Guys like this give us all a black eye.
