Is this legal?

[Tom]

The BATF apparently harrassed family members and neighbors as well as gun show attendees. What's wrong with people in Virginia?

Maybe there were a lot of Washington plates on vehicles in the parking lot and the BATF was after them?

I wouldn't think so, but the lady in the article seemed kinda flaky. I know a few cops, and they love to go to gun shows, off duty usually means plain clothes, and if they run into other cops there is usually a big gathering of them. I think the whole "background check" thing is just the organizer trying to get the gubermint to compensate her for a failed show. I'd need to see more proof then her statement in the paper.

As a former FFL holder I can say that the BATF does go overboard on occasion. But not having saw the events in question,,,,, no comment

Must have been a sale on doughnuts near by to have that many police and ATF there.

I've never had an FFL, but I do go to lots of guns shows, and I can say I've never seen anything like that before. NUT, donuts must have been free down at the Crispy Creme.
