I come home thursday to find a card on my front door. The card is what appeared to be an official ATF business card with the agents name on there. There is a hand written note on there that states, "Please call me". I called the number immediately, and its a voicemail that states , " this is agent Bill XXXX with ATF, please your message, beeeeeeeeeeeep" My neighbor states that just an hour before that he saw an unmarked blue government type car with two guys in suits at my front door.
I left a message and friday morning I get a call from the guy who announces himself as the agent. He says that he wants to talk to me in person and that I am "not in trouble or anything" but that he just wants to talk to me for a couple of minutes. He asked if i was available later that day, and I told him that he can come to my office. He said if he can make it that day ,that he would call before stopping by.
Just to give you a little background, i am a US citizen with middle-easter (Persian) background/last name. I am a lawful person, and practice as a physician and own my own medical practice. The only thing I can think of is that I have purchased a few guns over the last year and obtained by concealed weapon license.
Seven months ago i purchased an HKP7M8, a POF AR15, and a Kahr PM9. Last month i went to my local gun shop, and in one sitting ended up buying another Kahr PM9, 2 HK P7PSPs, and an HK Mk23 (socom).
Do you think that the purchase of (4) guns or the entire collection in a short period set off a flag somewhere? That is about the only thing i can of think of. I am going to call the guy again on monday and find out why he never showed up.
