The latest from VCDL, who recently announced the disgraceful behavior of the BATFE and local police at a Richmond gun show
http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=153250&page=1&pp=25
wherein it was reported that the BATFE/State Police/Local Police "checked" on some prospective gun purchasers by visiting their homes and those of their neighbors, now includes a new allegation (which I'm sure the apologists and disbelievers will handle adroitly (this can be viewed at www.vcdl.org, VA Alert Archive):
ACTION ITEM: Time to contact Congress about BATFE incident / new
allegations
In the NRA's Cam Edward's interview of the CNSnews.com reporter, a
new allegation came out: the BATFE had planted hidden cameras at the last few Richmond gun shows and lied to the building owners saying that the BATFE had permission to do so from the gun shown owner, Annette Gelles!
Smile, you're on candid camera. :-(
Trouble is that it was illegal since things like filming are controlled by gun show management.
Annette learned by accident, when a similar attempt in NoVA was
brought to her attention by building management. In that case BATFE
was sent packing.
I am getting tired of shaking my head at the shameful actions of BATFE.
Roy B. Scherer has been going after information from Richmond and the VA State Police.
Richmond Police officer Major McCoy acknowledged Richmond having 8
officers at the show, but didn't mention the patrol officers who were dispatched to people's houses.
VASP representative Corrine Geller acknowledged the task force, but
said that the State Police did not go knocking on doors.
We still haven't heard from Henrico, who also had their hands in this mess....
