Antlers, Ok.
If I remember the story right, this particular FFL consented to them coming to visit him. Thus, I don't think a warrant is necessary in such cases.

But, I'm not an FFL, nor plan to be one, so what do I know about it.
I do not know all there is to know about this, but when you have an FFL at your home it has to be open at times and the ATF has the right to come inspect and audit your books. I think probably more to the story.

A little over 10 years ago I had an ATF agent show up at my house out of the blue. I am not, nor have I ever been, a FFL holder. I was doing some extra IT work on the side at the time. I got paid in a few installments, and went gun shopping over the course of 2 months. Apparently it was enough to flag me in their system. They came by and asked me why I had been purchasing so many firearms (it was around 4 or 5 over 2 months). I told them because I had the money, all of them were for me, purchased legally through an FFL, and that they were all in my safe if they wanted to see them. The agent seemed nice enough. He didn't bother looking at them and explained that there is a threshold for 'X' amount of guns over 'X' amount of days and it flags you in the system.

My next several gun purchases after that were private, lol.

ANOTHER Sad sad story of a documented out-of-control government agency being used as a weapon against law abiding citizens. Make no excuses, their media making track record for decades is dismal at best, dishonest and corrupt at the worst. Another 3 lettered gumment agency that needs to be either eliminated or overhauled. ( elect me ! 😆 )

Nothing against the law with private sales!
Nothing private about disclosing your deals on the interwebs. Of course the likely hood of having our thoughts read around the clock by Siri, Echo and Dot is high anyway. If they’re tracking on me, they gotta be at least as confused as I am. 🤪
