Pred,
I commend you on your cooperation with the ATF on this. I'm sure they didn't just pick your name out of a hat, instead they were assisting in a murder investigation. Most likely you were one of many people the ATF visited in the 48 hours after the murder. The reason for the visit: You own a 9mm, the murder weapon was a 9mm, did they suspect you...No, did they want to confirm that your 9mm was still in your posession...Yes.
Now some may argue that this murder was treated differently because it was a Police Officer, and they'd be right, murdering a Police Officer will definitely elicit a greater response from within the Law Enforcement Community. Of course the same happened in this organization, when one of
our members had his permit revoked, we as a group rallied around him, both financially and with well wishes, in an attempt to help him get his permit back, which in any group is the normal thing to do.
Just curious, in reference to time, how long did this encounter last? And once you showed them the 9mm they were asking about did they leave and never come back?
