You say a "bit heavy handed" when the has had a job and family for over 30 years and the Feds show up at 6:00 AM to deliver a warrant by banging on {or breaking down} the door?
If someone is beating on or kicking in my front door at 6:00 AM, I've got a S & W 357 Magnum, and a 12 Gauge surprise for them.
Did he shoot when they were ringing his doorbell OR after they broke in?
25 years ago, I'd have instinctively sided with the Feds, but not today...too much hiliary & bill, big mike & and obama, doctor jane and stupid, influence on the alphabet soup gang for me to trust the feds.
I served in the US Army in the 60s and my son was a Navy Career Captain and I apologize.
I never believed that the USA would come to be this banana republic.
So sad that this great country is galloping to Gomorrah (With apologies to Robert Bork.)
