He hand delivered a letter to her that was addressed to me. He told her that he knew I have guns because I have a C & R license. He also told her not to be concerned by his visit because he is not from the division of the ATF "that kicks-down doors" when they go to someone's house. The envelope contained a copy of a brochure about illegal gun sales. He traveled from Houston to deliver the letter. I live in Brownsville, and that makes the trip about 300 miles. I wonder why he didn't just mail it? __________________

Did he show any official ID ? Wierd that he would make comments like he did about other personnel. Long live the Swedish Mauser!!

In the meantime I would not communicate with the person who showed up at your home. Make sure your firearms are secured and safe.

She too was questionable if it is legitimate. BTW, I checked her credentials before letting her in the house and she noted that. It was a good visit and she was very helpful. There was a problem on an entry and she let me correct it. "The trouble with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money".... Margaret Thatcher

I had an agent show up, yes I checked his ID, and he was here for about 5 min. They just had info about guns going into Mexico and to make sure I knew how to contact the AFT if I had any questions.
