Buying off Armslist

[-stew-]

I don't want to sound paranoid, but i will. I may be buying a pistol off arms list. What's the safest way to go about this? I mean, he knows i'm gonna have cash, and I know he has a gun.

Ive been shopping on there for a few months now but every time Ive sent an email to the buyer ive never had a response

I have done this many times. I have done the meetings in a public parking lot. I am also carrying when I meet someone. Also ask for his full name and do a background check. Others might have other ideas but it is what I do. I have bought 5 guns off of there now.

I've only sold there, but we did the deal at gunworld without a hitch. If you're that worried bring someone with. Just don't be a retard and you'll be fine.

I can come sit in the parking lot a couple cars away just incase. lol

Yeah.... Nothing draws the attention away from a robbery like a skinny dude with facial hair spanking it in his car.

:P

I have tinted windows...

:(

You're such a pussy. You belong in a kitchen.

Carry a gun, and meet in a public place.


Common sense would say the same.

I' Just don't be a retard and you'll be fine.

Yeah, that's the thing; I'm not the best at not being a retard. But I do have a beard, so, that makes life easier.

Ended up finding what I was looking for in stock new at Gun World for $50 less than this guy wanted for his used one, so I went that route. And that's good because the dickhead was supposed to call three hours ago and he ain't yet.

Wow how overpriced was that guy when Gunworld was cheaper:eek:

[-stew-]

He was asking $430 which is a bit over retail, but it's a gift for the girlfriend and I haven't been able to find one; so I said fuck it and would pay up to get it. Gun world had it for $379, and that's a good price for the gun.

That was my thought too.. lol

Meet in a public place like walmart, bring a friend and both of you be carrying a gun....

I've bought and sold....just did a sale in a parking lot on 76th and Hampton....im alive.
I dont ship and like Craigslist sellers are idiots who dont call back and talk BS because they
are loosers and cant follow thru.

I have a new shotgun Im building for a HD/hunting gun, pix soon.

While on topic, used guns at Gander and Gunwold cost MORE han new at Dunham's.
Walmart on 83 and 43 has piles o guns cheap as hell, in stock new weekly.

Hush!!! That's my secret stash!!

NEVER go by yourself! That's the best way to protect yourself. Get a couple of friends to go with you if you can. And carrying helps too.
