Undercover Feds At SHOT Show?

In today's The Outdoor Wire, there was a report that undercover Federal agents from BATFE, the FBI, and the USAF Office of Special Investigations were spread out amongst the crowds at the SHOT Show in Las Vegas. They were leaving cards that said to "report suspicious activity".



    As the industry poises for the Obama administration, word spread through SHOT Show that undercover agents supposedly from a variety of different agencies, from ATF to OSI, were wandering around the show floor, passing out business cards that bore an official-looking seal and the words "Suspicious Activity Reporting: 702-690-9
142"

    Curious, one industry insider called the number. After several rings, a recorded message thanked him for reporting the suspicious activity, and asked for a callback number. Instead, he hung up. Only a few minutes later, their cellphone rang and a caller identified himself as an FBI agent following up on the "suspicious activity report".


    When questioned about the supposed federal agents wandering the floor, the caller said that despite the fact that OSI was a military agency, breaches of security when it came to the "kinds of equipment displayed at SHOT Show" gave them full domestic arrest powers.

    Many attendees at the SHOW have received these cards, raising questions of the legitimacy of the supposed agents and the possibility that SHOT was under far closer federal scrutiny than normal.


This report doesn't leave me feeling warm and fuzzy about President Obama's claims that responsible gun owners have nothing to worry about from him.

*****

With this POTUS, and DOJ/AG, I am not surprised.....

Call centers are my business. Capturing Caller ID (CID) has been used in call centers dice the early 1990's.  I recently did an solution for a large call center that captured the CID and custom routed the call to the team the business decided was the best to handle your call. If you have CID on your phone it remembers the number and puts it in memory for you know who calls and simplify your ability to return the call.

I have done applications that look at your CID and looks in the customer database. If you are not paying your bills on time it will route your call to collections regardless of the reason you called.

Don't need to buy the whole phone.  You can get SIM cards cheaper and they are what hold the ID info.  Should be available at local stores..pay cash...and swap them out as needed with the original.

Be sure what you buy will fit your phone....or get a phone that matches your local supply.

cough  bullshit! cough cough

What suspicious activity would need Fed help at SHOT? Someone placing an order?
Apparently actually trying to use your 2A rights is enough for the military investigators to be called in.

Hi;

     The Feds being at Gun Shows and taking down licence numbaers and doing whatever they do best has been going on for years. If you are not doing anything Illegal there is no problem. If any one of them approach you and ask questions you have 2 choices;

     1;  Tell them to go have sex with themselves

     2 Get as much info on  THEM   and a Photo or 2 and send it to the NRA  or  Tom Gresham  or whoever that has the ability to embarass them and Pro Gun Legislatures to investigate them and tie their time up looking stupid for what they are doing. Turn the tide unto them....

If they mention illegal activities you can detain them and have them arrested .
