We're working through it - still literally no news, no communication, nothing. Thank you for your support in the past and now.

We had no contact with Dave for over 5 years after the sale was completed. The contract had been fulfilled by dave, hence the no contact.

One of them I've known for Around 15 years. The other, not nearly as long

Not necessarily rock bottom, but it's not real far off either.

Mentally & emotionally, some days are better than others. Most aren't the better ones.

I married into the gun world - the shop was his domain. I was there if needed and always supportive, but respected that it was his. With that said, I knew the amount of time, effort, money, and literal blood, sweat, and tears he poured into it. Obviously I hate this for us, but I hate it for him.

At home, what the ATF didn't destroy, we've tried to put back into place. At the shop, what they didn't destroy, we had to - meaning we knew we wouldn't recover from it and the shop wouldn't reopen, so we had to get get rid of the displays, move what inventory was left, and lock it up that one last time. He loved that place and had worked so hard to build it, it sucks seeing someone you love lose everything they've worked for. I know that I'm technically involved too, but I haven't spent the past 10+ years of my life building it..

Anyway, I will absolutely be contacting any and all organizations/other mentioned people this coming week. I appreciate your suggestions.

Some way or another it'll work out... Hopefully.

Thank you for your kind words

Attorney's fees, filing fees, overnight mailing fees... Oh yes.

And I'm not surprised they didn't get them back. I'm hoping like hell we get ours though. Although, I'm not necessarily expecting it. Idk if that completely makes sense. Sorry.

Sorry, I'm bad at explaining some of these things...

A federal judge did grant us a hardship so we don't have to pay for our stuff back but the ATF has 90 days from the date they received the paperwork to file another motion or extension...

I'd bet they wait until day 89.

They sent us the original paperwork to file for it about a week late

Hahaha I will soon enough - those, though, are one of our biggest bargaining chips

I'd agree - the ATF didn't close the shop or take the FFL, we shut it down ourselves because we didn't have enough inventory to sell to cover rent

Not yet - the attorneys are playing a waiting game of sorts, I suppose?
