Jeez the ATF has changed in 30+ years

Good luck to all you field guys from a civilian. Back in the early 70's one of my best friends was ATF. I was in legit business in Mexico and a few countries south of there. I had some very heavy contacts and out of friendship I offered to help him if he needed in contacting people to help with the smuggling problem. Things worked out well till do to political bullshit I was jailed. My friend and the ATF gave me full support during the whole time to help things out. In fact after the problem he was my best man at my first wedding. Now the ATF eats it own how sad. My friend started out as a revenour as he would say and was a real cowboy in the old standard. He rode broncs. LOL He retired from the ATF in the early 80's. Funny thing is half the time he never carried a gun. Sometimes we would be out running around and he would check on an active case. He would ask me if I had a gun and say well if the F**ker is chasin me shoot the bastard for me. Thunder Bug
