Ah yes, You understand exactly what I was talking about and why I as you, did not renew my license. You found yourself victim of the whims of an ATF agent and as I, fund it damned insulting that an individual could with, in effect, rule book in hand and tell you you were wrong when the regulations are clearly in your favor. When an individual representing the US Government has the athority to insult, coerce, extort, or remove your source of livelyhood, that power is way beyond the veil.
The government is like a cammel, it is never satisfied with an inch of its nose in your tent.
I shoot clays with a retired ATF agent (one of our regular group) and every now and then he says something that irks the group. I just give him my best "you dum butt" look and go on. He is like a stone in a brook, gradually getting rolled smooth.
