I was sleeping on the couch, heard the doorbell, thought it was some worker for the house. He asked if my parents were home, when I answered no, he showed his badge. I honestly thought it was either someone trying to rob the house, or some “hey little boy crap”.
I didn’t know what I was looking for on the badge, I couldn’t tell you a fake from a real.
I didn’t have my phone as it was still on the couch, I wanted to call my father and ask what to do. He was hesitant (in hindsight he didn’t want me getting a weapon). So he and I am standing at the door, I don’t know if to let him in or not, but while he was looking at his notes, I saw “pre1986 machine gun” “Grenade Launcher”, ect written down. I knew instantly he was legit and had him come in.
Main thing he wanted to know was if I was a threat. A 19 year old who’s talked described a psychological history such as mine looking at explosives, MG’s ect? Once he realized I’ve talked to the ATF muliple Times, and very much aware with the NFA process, it kind of partly answered his question. The reason he was there was essentially “Am I a threat/ a danger to others?” Unequivocally that answer was and is No. As for a danger to myself? That’s more complex and delves into the reasons on why I have atypical depression. Simple answer short term, no. Long term? It’s complex and depends we’re I am in life. Am I homeless dumpster diving? Probably. Do I have kids or people who depend on me, defiantly not.
This was brought to there attention apparently due to a report someone made in a different state, and he hadprint outs of the comments I wrote, along with asking if I was the username listed.
