I did a posting about the same thing going on around the boarder states which many felt someone was in error to put it nicely. One guy was visited by 6 men and one female officer of ICE and Border Patrol.
Brian was in the Marine Corps and is an Oath Keeper. He has spoken out at rallies about what he believes are the inane rules being imposed on the fishermen in Maine. Think he runs a 45 ft trawler. By the video it appears someone at the LGS made the call and the police who know him were very nice but just doing a follow up. So pick whatever reason you want to for him getting the call/visit.

Did the police do anything illegal, IMO no. A citizen reported (what he incorrectly felt was) suspicious activity following what he perceived the guidelines are for "see something say something". So then the police have basically two choices to put it simply.
1. Do nothing - ignore the report
2. Follow up
If on the off chance Brian shot up a movie theater and the police didn't follow up - the police would be at fault for not doing the follow up ... right? The citizen would be yelling from the rooftops that he warned the police.
Or:
When did purchasing ammo become suspicious activity and create probable cause to question a free citizen making a legal purchase?
The police said he wasn't suspected of any crime.
Some things are just a no win situation for the police and or the citizens.
Hahahaha when I found out it was going on in my area I ordered some ammo which should be here Friday. I spoke with a person who is non Spanish and had something he thought weird happen with his ammo shipment. UPS tracking said his ammo would be delivered on a particular date. The ammo was delivered a day late with the packing slip pouch cut; he said that had never happened before with any of his many orders. He got no call/visit. I have 3 other people to speak with that something similar has happened but have not made contact with them. So far from what I have seen it is going on. Not really motivated as I once was for IMO it is going on for selected individuals and nothing we can do about it anyway.
