The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently raided one of our readers: a kitchen table FFL dealer who does everything—everything—by the book. He has, however, consistently criticized the ATF for its unconstitutional regulations and long history of extra-legal activities. This is his story.
First of all, forget about them coming to the door. They’ll intercept you on your way home from the Doctor’s office (for example), then one vehicle will come up behind you and two will block your way in front and turn on the flashing lights. They then jump out with ‘real’ assault rifles, point them at you and order your hands up, and exit the vehicle. You, being a law abiding citizen, comply. At gunpoint, they order you to assume the position against your car, handcuffs you and frisk you, and you’re directed to get into the back seat. Then the lead agent gets into the driver seat and drives your car to your driveway. You sit there with cuffed hands behind you – bleeding.

I’ve been reading the book John Ross wrote that this scenario inspired. I’m at the point where he describes the “Bonus Army” getting burned out of Washington DC. Made me think of Waco, of Chris Dorner. Anybody else think they ought to have an abundant supply of water and fire extinguishers for your home? Slate roof, fire proof safe room?
My husband and I are avid Doomsday Prepper (DDP) fans, but wonder why the scenario of getting burned out hasn’t been approached? Seems like it is the most likely scenario. Most people featured on DDP show deal with security against a shoot out. We think a more likely event is getting burned out….
I envy you reading Unintended Consequences for the first time. Looks like it is getting time to feed the hogs.
