Until you have some real information and not just stories, what does it matter?
So these customers consumers supposedly visited by the ATF are now on watch lists? How do you know?
Gun store/range rumors abound. After all, Colt isn't selling to the public anymore, Walmart ammo is made to 'expire' after 1 year or 2 (depending on the source), Obama is going to stop sales of assault rifles (buy now before the government puts a halt to it!), etc.
Always wear your tin foil hat when gossiping at the gun store/range.
I have known the owner of the LGS for a few years. We have hunted together, had family dinners together, and has always been straight with me.
Now, if you had someone who is a friend and told you what had been happening at his business would you believe him or just call it tin foil?
The question was asked "if" anyone had heard of such a thing or had it happened to anyone else.
There are always those who want to cry tin foil when they hear something out of their normal day to day experience. Also there are certain individuals who get a kick out of trying to show their superiority by degrading others.
There is no reason IMO for the two customers to relay a story like this unless, what? Many still believe around here that your word is your bond so I really have a hard time believing two guys on two separate occasions came in telling the same story unless there was an orchestrated conspiracy for what reason.
Al is the only one who provided a thread where something like this happened before.
Once again the question was has anyone heard of this before? The few guys I have been able to speak with around here have all thought it was a driver with a "see something say something" attitude.
I will find out what I can as soon as I can; just because I want to know what went down and why.
I am still trying to speak with one of the customers.
