Interesting voicemail from the ATF

[boopiejones]

I just received the following voicemail from the ATF. The voice was the same robot lady that constantly reminds me that my car warranty is about to expire, so I assumed it was some sort of scam. But i checked the phone numbers left in the voicemail and they are indeed the real ATF numbers.

I don’t have a “store” but I do have an ffl03. I wonder if the ATF is preparing for significantly more rioting and looting and wants to warn all FFLs?

A friendly reminder doesn't hurt.

Looks like it's directed to regular FFL's and not necessarily C&R licensees...similar to the C&R application which is also used by regular FFL's. Nothing to worry about.

Maybe they should of called SOONER, and warned against voting "democrap."
