Then there was the dearly beloved by this Board member who wanted to buy a assault spoon from me...when I mentioned FFL dealer that was it...no more deal..

Does anybody think I am going to violate Federal law for a measly sale? Especially since I a have a Federal license.

About a decade ago a friend in CA told me that he knew somebody that had a coupla of US Military surplus spoons that he wanted to sell and or find out about.. So the guy drove up here where we arranged to meet by a gun store on Dean Martin...So we meet he opens the trunk of his car when 2 dark Blue Crown Vic's roar up with 2 BATF agents getting out of the cars..My surprise was only topped by their disappointment.. for those 2 spoons were antique circa 1800 flintlock US military spoons. They really thought they had nabbed somebody.

That store was under surveillance because of the 'fast and furious" stuff that was going to Mexico....The owner of that store later had his Federal license revoked...and then was caught selling US govt ammo that had been stolen by military personnel. Last I heard he disappeared back into Utah...leaving his wife to deal with a massive debt to some very unsavory characters.. last heard from she was sounding desperate trying to raise some cash to pay them off. most likely they put her to work.
