There have been three unexplained shootings in the Long Island, New York Area, and two in near Columbus, Ohio. Have there been any unexplained shootings in your news coverage area? (please supply URL's to the story if there are any) You can write to us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also: HEADS UP MARYLAND (and NO. VA)- We have received information from several sources in the Maryland area that certain gun owners are being contacted by persons claiming to be from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms asking (read: demanding) to "borrow" firearms for ballistic fingerprinting as part of the DC sniper investigation. Those that do not comply are threatened with a visit from the folks sporting the basic black dress code. At least 5000 weapons have been 'voluntarily' surrendered in Maryland and Northern Virginia to date. We suspect those that comply will be engaging in a voluntary firearm confiscation program in the Maryland/DC area. If you have received this call, please consult legal counsel *immediately*, and send a notice to this the following e-mail address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] We also suggest the following: (from Gary Marbut) Authentication of and response to phone inquiries from alleged BATF or FBI agents in re firearm possession: 1. Ask for name, agency identification number (every agency uses something, badge number, etc), and telephone number. If they won't give them, tell the caller to have his supervisor call and hang up. 2. Once you get the identity data, tell the caller you will verify their identity with the 911 operator. Then call 911 (all calls are recorded) and report the incident asking them to verify that the caller is not a hoaxer or to notify the appropriate agency if it is a hoax. 2. If the caller's bona fides are verified by the 911 operator, you can decide whether or not to contact an attorney. If you do, he or she (not you, the client) will most likely call the agent back and say you'll be happy to respond to a valid subpoena or warrant but not to participate in this fishing expedition. On the other hand, if you decide to let them see/test your firearm, make certain your attorney negotiates the circumstances of it's prompt return FIRST. Have the agency (through a higher up) promise to return it immediately after the test, agree to repair or compensate you for any damage, and to pay your attorney fees and costs if you have to demand or sue for it's return. 3. Cooperation without an attorney representing you is simply too dangerous in view of both agencies recent record of false testimony, false evidence, false affidavits to courts, etc. They simply cannot be trusted.
