I'm not going to get into the whole Dan Cooper debate, as it's already been beat to death on this board without solving anything, but I would like to share something that happened recently that is "on topic" and seems like more than a coincidence to me.
Anyhooo,,,,,,,,,About a week ago two fellows showed up at my place asking directions. I live up in the woods and the roads are a bit confusing to find your way around on so I didn't think much of it. They were looking for a friend of mine's place and since he's always buying and selling stuff I didn't think much of that either, and pointed them in his direction.
Well about an hour later I got a call from my neighbor. He called me a dirty rat (jokingly I think /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif) for sending the Fed's to his house.
My neighbor does the gun show circut, buying guns from pawn shops and peddeling them at gun shows. The two guys were ATF agents that wanted to question him about the fact that he sells guns without a FFL. Basicaly they told him that if you're "making a living" selling guns, you need a FFL. He told them it was just a hobby and they left without making much of a fuss, saying it was routine to check up on people who buy a large amount of guns per year or that buy several at one time. (He had recently bought five hand guns at one time from a pawn shop.)
The thing that's interesting is that this guy's been doing this for over thirty years and even put on a few gun shows at one time without any questions or problems.
The fact that one of two anual gun shows held locally is going on this weekend seems odd as well. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
It's no secret that gun show's are very high on the anti's list.
Like I said, "this may be a coincidence" but with the political climate being what it is it still makes me wonder. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif
I sure hope I'm wrong.........
