I guess visiting too many gun forums has made me paranoid that stormtroopers are going to come knocking at my door one day. All my current guns were purchased through an FFL so they are "on the books" as they say and could likely be traced back to my doorstep by the government if they chose to.

I've recently decided to (probably) sell a 1911 and buy an HK USPc 45 and the thought has returned that perhaps I should buy my new handgun through a FTF transaction instead of through an FFL so it won't be so easily tracable in the event that the the ATF shows up at my doorstep one day.

I suppose it probably doesn't matter. I'm sure that the government will rely on honest citizens to turn in all their guns and rat out their neighbors instead of actually doing door-to-door searches.

Perhaps there's just something reassuring about knowing that big brother ISN'T watching every single gun I own.
