ATF Called today - DURING THE TEA PARTY

[M1Riflenut]

When they called,do you remember what the phone number was? I've had several calls on my caller ID from a Washington DC phone number. My answering machine has been broken for awhile now so I usually look at the caller ID to see who called. I don't know anyone in DC. They even tried on sunday afternoon. I have'nt been home much lately,either at work or the hospital as my brother had a stroke Easter morning.

When she called me it showed as "Restricted" - but she left me a local cell phone number (for me 916 area code) - - - as it turns out she lives just around the corner from me (mile and a half or so) - - - is there a "local" office in your neck of the woods?

I would still love to know the "real" reason for the visits - best I could get out of her was "a fact finding project" - - - so don't know if they are looking for people using their c&r as a dealer (I changed emphasis in my collection so I had a fair number of sales versus purchases with my last renewal) - - or if they are trying to intimidate collectors to weed some of us out (shades of what Clinton did with 01's way back when) - - but mine is strictly collecting, no Mexican connections.....

PS - that white stuff on the ground is all gone - isn't it???

PPS - I'll say a prayer for your brother - strokes are a nasty thing to work through

When they called from the Sacramento Office the Caller ID displayed either "BATF" or "US Government" with different phone numbers. They were calling twice a day to make contact and setup the appointment. My neighbor asked me several days later why the ATF Agent was here. He's a Battalion Chief and also on the Narcotics Task Force ( an adrenaline junkie, me thinks!) so he knew the guy. BB
