I;m tryin to stay quit!!! I had a gut PM telling me ATF (LOL) could show up at my house for saying white lighting on the forums. All jokes aside is this a joke are you serious. ATF is going to come to my house for saying me and my brother drank white lighting. Really maybe i'm an idiot but i laughed me A$$ off. I respect these forums with the utmost respect but i'm not going 2 sat sorry for this . This was silly fun not breaking the law or breaking forum laws don't PM with that BS!!! What a Joke..


Are you still feeling a little tipsy? A little hair of the dog that bit you? And yes, ha ha, no ATF agents will be at your doorstep. Guy probably just meant don't make a habit of talking about illegal stuff. Said once in passing will do no harm.

Is that a white van in your driveway?
 
ATF won't show up just because you DRANK the home boiled mountain hooch. Drank is past tense. As long as you're not making it or drinking it at the moment, it would be a waste of their time. It would be like the police showing up because they thought somebody was doing a bunch of coke at a house last week.
 
Unless you are making a living providing your neighborhood with moonshine, Id say you were good. Lol
 
Ya i was using a iphone and i was at the bar with my brother when i wrote it. So ya i was a little tipsy. My brother is visiting till Monday so were just having fun while he is here. I just thought it crazy that some random person was like Watch Out ATF could show up at your door step. I really laughed even if they were being genuine. You could scare someone on the forums saying that where they wouldn't post anymore. Not me i know better that ATF isn't gonna waste there time coming to my house. Has this person ever watched utube people on video showing people how to brew moonshine? ATF dosen't want you selling moonshine or any alcohol for that matter. They could care less about someone who makes a few jars on there stovetop for personal use. Seeing that i don't even make moonshine myself and i drink everything i brew i think i will be ok LOL.
 
Remember one thing: the Feds won't come after you for talking about moonshine. But we [sadly] live in a country where -- if you piss off the wrong bureaucrat -- they'll dig to look for something you've done wrong. Hell, even if it's not the Feds, it can show up elsewhere. You sound like you're not married, but imagine how easy it would be in a divorce/custody battle would it be for someone to take what you just wrote and make it sound like you're an alky drinking illegal hooch. And if you talk to lawyers, they'll tell you that the *first* thing they want when they represent you in a case is to know what you've put online.

Sure, it'll probably never happen to you. Which is the same thing that everyone who it's happened to before said.

I'm so glad I'm too old to worry about that stuff. Kids are grown, and I don't give a crap if they come get me. Feed me, house me, no worries. Not that I do anything illegal... But, yes, young people should be careful what they post online. I'm sure the person who PM'ed the OP was well meaning.
