Be vigilant about BATFE spying!
Posted: Tue Sep 15, 2009 12:40 pmThis is from a GOA alert; was wondering if any FFL's here had encountered this.
**************************************************************************************************
"GOA has received a report from a very well-known journalist at a big newspaper that the FBI and BATFE are teaming up together to get off-the-record information on gun owners. The project, known as Vigilant Eagle, involves federal agents going to gun stores and doing "meet and greets" with shop owners in the hopes of obtaining informal information on people buying guns.
If you are a shop owner who is contacted by the FBI or BATFE as part of this program -- or if you are a gun owner who becomes aware that this program is going on in your area -- please contact GOA by going to http://gunowners.net/cgi-bin/ttx.cgi?cmd=newticket and giving us the details of what you know. The journalist wants to run a story exposing Vigilant Eagle to the entire country."
