    Here's the thing I'm wondering about. It would take lots of credible information for people to come out, especially the BATF. They just don't appear based on one fictitious phone call.
    I guarantee if that were here in Houston, no one would come out unless there were lots of information that would warrant a knock and talk and/or search warrant.

    Just out of curiosity, if you said "You can come in and check my gun safes" would they actually be restricted to just that, or once they are in the door, everything is in play. Whole house search, not fun. They can start tearing stuff up and their is not much you can do about it, is it?

    At least they didn't take all your ARs in and test them.

    Big mistake on your part by letting them in the door. Give them your name and offer to set up a meeting at your lawyer's office. Do not let them into the house. I doubt you have heard the last of this. I am saying this with the full belief that you are completely innocent.

    Talking about your civil rights, politics, and religion are a no-no on forums.

    I'm confused with this statement in red. You have some registered SBR lowers to go along with the short uppers right? Not sure why they'd be "separate of course."

    If you have given consent then they are limited to what you have consented. You can also revoke that consent at any time.

    I've done lots of consent searches and found lots of crap pursuant to those searches. It never ceases to amaze me when the guy lets you search his room and he has a sheet of acid and a big bag of cocaine in his desk drawer.

    I would not consent to a search - regardless of whether or not I had anything to hide.

    They're doing this in order to charge you with a crime, confiscate all your firearms, throw you in jail, have a big court case costing you thousands of dollars and to make an example of you. Not because they're "cool guys".

    Yea, that's their job. If you dont have anything illegal there's no problem. As with the op.
