Oh my, this whole thing is going off the rails. It appears the neighborhood Karen has been coordinating an opposition effort to bombard the City with complaints. I got five emailed to me today, two of which were from people not even on the list I had to send notification letters to, so they'd not have otherwise known about it. Some of the emails were very well written and passionate. But most were totally ignorant of the law, thought I was going to be running a brick and mortar gun store out of my house, said it endangered their kids, there'd be shootings, crazed people knocking on doors, accidental discharges, you name it. Total lunacy. I fear my application is doomed. Once I have nothing to lose, I will contact another ATF investigator I know handles a neighbor's FFL, who was not required to go through this BS. I don't want to go around my guy, but I'm just about at the point of having nothing to lose. Such Karens in this place. One is even a nextdoor neighbor and said he's afraid to walk around with his kids. I've been here 15 yrs, he's been here for four yrs. Never a complaint. WTF?
