[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3829431, member: 45773"] The ATF, or the police in general, can ask you anything they want. You can then answer or not. In this case, it's perfectly legal for the ATF to knock on a door and ask to see your guns. You can then choose to let them see what they want or not let them. If they have a warrant it's a different story. On the other hand, it's perfectly reasonable for a homeowner to call the police if they feel the person isn't who or what they represent themselves to be. Hard to say exactly what the caller told the dispatcher and what the dispatcher told the officers. Regardless, arguing with the police on the street isn't going to do anyone any good. There's a time and place to state your case...that wasn't it. Even if your wife IS pregnant. I'm not defending the officers...just from the video it seems they could've been a little more low-key about the interaction. [/QUOTE]
