Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rights if the ATF comes to my door?

If the ATF arrives at your door, you have the right to remain silent under the Fifth Amendment and the right to legal representation under the Sixth Amendment. You should clearly state that you are invoking these rights and wish to speak with an attorney before answering any questions or consenting to searches.

Can law enforcement search my home without a warrant?

No, law enforcement generally cannot search your home without your consent or a valid warrant issued by a judge based on probable cause. You have Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches and seizures.

What is the concern about a firearm brace registry?

The concern is that ATF actions regarding pistol braces could lead to the creation of a de facto registry, compiling data on owners. This raises privacy concerns and fears of potential future regulations or restrictions on those individuals.

Should I talk to law enforcement if they come to my house?

It is strongly advised not to engage in conversation with law enforcement without an attorney present. Anything you say can potentially be used against you. Assert your right to remain silent and request legal counsel immediately.
