I am sorry that the original thread got shut down. I do appreciate all the inputs, but please lets keep it on topic.
UPDATE:
I called my ex-FBI friend who is also a criminal attorney. I told him the situation and he said that he certainly believes that its the multiple handguns in a single setting situation. This guy also is very connected in town. His father used to be the sherrif about 25yrs ago and he recently ran for sherrif himself and didn't win (came in 2nd) He asked for the agents name and # and said he wants to give him a call.
He called me back in 15min and said that he was on the phone with the agent for a good 7-8min. He did introduce himself not as an attorney, but a friend and his credentials and that he has been my friend for several years. The agent did tell him that it was about the "mulitple handgun purchase and relating matters..." He did not go into what the "relating matters." In a sense, this guy vouched for me that he has known me for several years and that besides my private practice, i am also an assistant professor at a U.F. etc etc. The friend said that based on the agent's answers and tone it does not seem that i am under any investigation and that i should speak to them without him being present. He did also say that if at any point the questions go outside the scope of normality and the intended purchase of the guns etc etc, to stop the conversation and call him. The agent also had told him that they have had low man power and that is why they still have not come by my office to talk to me but they will be talking to me sometimes this week. I appreciate all the inputs so far. I will definitely keep you guys informed as to what happens next. Wish me luck!
