A gun store owner in California has a message for
the feds: No, you can’t force me to turn over my customer list to you.
Fox 5 in San Diego reported
that Dimitrios Karras, the Oceanside, Calif. owner of Ares Armor, said Alcohol,
Tobacco and Firearms department agents have threatened to raid his business if
he doesn’t hand over a list of all customers who purchased an item for building
an AR-15.
The ATF, according to Karras, wants the names of
5,000 customers who bought a certain 80 percent lower receiver, something the
feds say is illegal. Gun stores that have sold these specific items have been
told by the ATF to hand over a list of customers who have them.
“They said either give us these 5,000 names or we
are coming in and taking pretty much anything – which is a huge privacy concern
and something we are not willing to do,” Karras told Fox 5.
