No Pat.
My response is again related to my direct experience with the BATFE, and the policies surrounding FFL's, LEUP's, storage magazines and the regulations surrounding them. While I wasn't pleased with the change in FFL regulations, I could understand some of the reasoning. There were, in my knowledge FFL holders who were not responsible in their dealings with firearms. There were too many for the staff of field agents available to ensure compliance.
This definitely had an effect on me at the time, as I was shooting competitively at the professional level, and obtained most of my parts and tools using the license. The use of a 'storefront' FFL holder was an inconvenience.

I would like to hear about your direct experience in this area.

Or are you just parroting some crap you read on a website?
Again.
