Taking a Flyer in Arkansas

A flyer appearing to be from the FBI has been turning up at local gun and ammo shops, instructing employees there how to identify suspected terrorists, but some store owners say its regulations might affect more than just enemies of the state. [More]

I've been trying to get a copy of the actual document. I asked Paul W. Davis who is from Ark. if he could locate one and this is his reply:

I talked to two gunshop owners today. One is a mom and pop that sells guns along with hardware, the other a large gunshop that deals with every firearm imaginable. The mom and pop owner saw the report, but no one ever delivered any kind of flyer to him, nor did he receive one in the mail. The owner of the large gunshop was out of town when the flyer was delivered, but was informed about it. They tried to call the number on the flyer, and the number was never answered. Before 40/29 did their report they tried to get him to talk to them, but he refused because he doesn't trust them. Nonetheless, he had it confirmed to him that they (40/29) tried to reach the number and it was not answered for them either. He does know the FBI was contacted at their normally published number and they claimed no knowledge of the flyer. The flyer his shop received, they destroyed when it didn't appear to be official. His take is that someone was trying to create a stir. At this point, a couple of things are apparent: If it was a government operation, it was a black op to determine reaction and nothing more. If it was not a government operation, the individual(s) responsible are attempting to stir the pot for reasons known to them. In any case, it is not "official" policy. Although, from what the gun store owner described as being on the flyer, he considered the points raised to be all the things they normally evaluate when someone is purchasing a firearm anyway. At this late in the game, it is highly doubtful I could get my hands on a copy of the flyer. I do not know too many other people who might be able to get one either. I will say this, if it were an official op from the government, they know every FFL in the entire area, and the mom and pop guy would have gotten one too. Whoever did this wasn't aware of all the different FFL's (we have dozens) in the area, or decided to hit only those shops which were high visibility and possibility only in a certain geographical area. Sorry I could not hit more shops, but that would require more time than I had available due to other commitments. I hope this sheds some additional light on the situation.

If anyone can shed some additional additional light, please do. In the mean time, I left a voicemail and sent this to the FBI public affairs officer in Little Rock:
