ATF call & e-mail

Postby westhope on Thu May 28, 2020 11:34 am

I just got a call and and e-mail from the ATF concerning an attempted burglary in my area. I live in south central MN.

Anyone else get a message like this?

I am a CRFFL only.

This is an important message from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. A Federal firearms licensee in your area has experienced an attempted burglary. The ATF reminds you to remain vigilant and to take appropriate steps to secure both your firearms inventory and your required records. Please report all suspicious persons or activity to your local police department. Additionally, notify ATF at 888-930-9275 if you find any of your firearms missing, lost or stolen or if you are a victim of an attempted burglary of your business.

Obviously they sent it to all FFL holders. C&R is an FFL, even if not commercial. Probably easier for them to do that.

They have my info, from various interactions, yet I have not gotten any contact from them.

What they asked is hardly unreasonable...

I wonder if this is due to the looting (specifically pawn shops) in the cities.

Saw a posting that said both Bill's locations were closed down and they moved their inventory.

A friend just called me and the Owatonna Fleet Farm store pulled all their firearms from the store this evening because of the looting of guns from their Souix Falls store by protesters this weekend. Owatonna had a small protest demonstration this weekend.

I found just a brief mention when Googled.

Anyone heard more?

I went to the Owatonna Fleet Farm this morning for some furnace filters.

Most of the guns were on display. The area where they usually keep the "Tactical" (AR / AK) rifles was empty.

They had plywood staged by the entrance along with full pallets to block off the entrance. They also had pallets of bottled water staged inside the store, I assume again to block off the entrance.
