You know, I told this story over on another board, …sad to say, more than a few said I was a liar, however its 100% true.
1st, I live in the Kentucky, an EXTREMELY pro-gun state. (I wont say which city)
2nd, I have relatives who are police, and have (relatively) great respect for ATF.
3rd, I have NO criminal history, none, ….period….and I have worked in a few gun shops
2 years ago I ran into some serious extra $$$$, I bought a lot of multiple handguns ,….of course I know if you buy more than 1 handgun a week, the dealer has to fill out a MULTIPLE FORM on you and mail it out to the ATF……….
A call from the ATF at the end of the year….”we want you to come to our office….little talk”………….. I said no…..
“well, what the heck are you doing with buying 30+ glocks last year.????”
Me::: “well, im a glock fanatic….come on over and you can peek in the safe and see them” (by the way, I know this ATF agent, ive met him year or so ago on something irrelevant to anything wrong I ever did).
Agent::”well, its not going to raise in value, theyre only glocks, why the hell do you need so many????”
…….back and forth for about 20 mins……..thankfully I knew a lot of police officers he could use as a reference on me……which he did , I assume…..
…….OF COURSE……the beef is……you could buy 1 handgun a week, every week for a year…….but when youre out buying multiple handguns at a time…..several times……
as the ATF agent told me, end of the year, a computer kicks back a “multiples list” of all the local yokels who are buying “too many damn handguns”……….
Seems I was #1 in this city….which is the largest one in the state…………..
Now….i KNOW WELL , that 2 of my rich friends buy WAY MORE handguns per year than myself from dealers…but NOT multiple handguns within one week.
The other nonsense of this list is, I could have bought 2000 AK-47s last year, but that would NEVER register…….why? theyre not handguns……. Isn’t that great……
***I left out about 30 mins of conversation between him and me, of him chewing on me as to why the heck I have a safe full of handguns, many glocks…….
This “multiples list” is just nonsense, if I was anyway inclined to do something illegal, such as multiple straw purchases……id just shop each gun shop, 1 handgun from each shop…. Per week……or any one of a number of things……..the only info that list is kicking back info on, are legal gun purchases, not illegal straw-purchases from people smart enough to know how to very easily avoid their name showing up on such a list.
****By the way, ive spoken to this ATF agent somewhat recently....i get along fine with him, and he knows about genuine gun-nuts who buy and swap a lot of handguns at local shops, and certainly he knows I am one of those
