Dubious

Achievement

The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms reports that only 361 moonshine stills were seized in 1978 for a record low. According to ATF personnel, the reasons for the drop are that potential customers complain faoonshine tastes bad. contains lead poison and costs about as much as legal spirits. ATF kept busy, however, with a record 1,524 criminal bombings and the seizure of 8,936 illegal firearms.

Virginia may be in line for a dubious achievement award. Of the 361 moonshine stills seized, 114 of them were in the Commonwealth, leaving open the possibility that the state may lay claim to the title “Mother of Moonshiners” as well as “Mother of Presidents.”
