A man driving a new black pickup truck drove into our club last Saturday and offered 6 or more cases of 5.56 ammo for free to a couple of members that were to be donated to the club. The man said that he either just lost his federal LE job or was about to lose it. The 2 club members thought it was strange that the man piled the cases on top of the new truck risking scratches. The members then asked the man for his federal ID for proof. He didn't have it on him, but said that he would be right back with it.
The members thought this offer was too good to be true due to the price and scarcity of ammo. Since they also thought it might be some kind of sting by one of the alphabet agencies, they decided to call the police in the town in which the club is located, so a town cruiser shows up. In the meantime, the guy returns in an unmarked white Ford Explorer and supposedly flashed 2 different DHS badges to the members. He was also pissed because the members called the police on him, so he decided to turn the ammo over to the police department. The town cop said nothing to the man (later on it was revealed that the cop knew the man). The man leaves in his Explorer flashing it's red and blue lights.
On Monday, the club's president called the chief of police and learned the following:
1) The federal LEO was well-known by the police and stated that he, the fed, is a LEO in good standing.
2) The federal LEO first offered the ammo to the town police. A high-ranking member of the police turned down his offer for the free ammo and told the fed that maybe the gun club would take it as a donation.
3) The fed drives to the club as described on last Saturday.
4) The chief of police assured the club president that no laws were broken by the fed that was giving the ammo away with "good intentions."
5) The ammo that was offered is now "supposedly" in the inventory of the town police department.
6) The club president told the chief that if the fed had professionally contacted the club, instead of just 2 random club members, the club would have accepted the ammo after clearing it with the town police.
No, I'm not going to name the town police or the name of the club because it brings out the club-hating nuts on this forum.
