Dogtired you are correct about the Dc sniper scrutiny,
However your implication that I said anything near swat storming in to make checks is also out of line. I simply stated the ATF drops in unannounced which I have seen first hand. This just means you need to keep things up to snuff.
Whether I have an FFl or not does not mean that I was not present for these actions. For you to quote the only way it will go down is naive Or?
If we all knew how everything was going to work out we may not need lawyers or law enforcement.
Even the ATF came up with two different decisions on the same exact issues 200 miles apart. Despite the law.
The same goes for hardlining with the FBI or ATF on checks or searches. Yes they may be required to have a warrant for some things but unless you have something to hide or you have a specific legal reason then the open door pays dividends.
When my friend first opened he started selling so many guns the ATF was in there all the time extremely suspicious. As time wore on they eased up because he followed every letter and caution. Before long lawyers, prosecuters and judges were buying. So the way things got handled were on the best legal advice and cooperation available.
The most interesting thing is he started the store just to keep busy since he and his wife were previously retired comfortably.
If it hadn't been for all the paper work he would have stayed open.
