Face to face gun purchase

I'm sure that this is true, but have you ever seen a LEO "Run the Numbers" without having the firearm in THEIR hands?

If the firearm comes up "Hot" the LEO has a responsibility to confiscate the firearm. If he does not he is in deep Sheet.

I can't claim to have a variety of experiences for useful comparative purposes. Since this was outside the realm of the original point, I hadn't considered it.

... White Castle parking lots...

The best answer. NOBODY will say anything at a White Castle. The patrons are either old or keeping their head down out of shame for eating there anyway.

yesterday, I met a fine gentleman from this forum in the parking lot of a tobacco store, bought a pretty sweet mosin, and bid him good day.

Inside Pop's. At least some gun purchases in that building wouldn't be highway robbery that way.

Seriously, public parking area and use "common" sense.

I bought a 10/22 off of armslist once and met the man in the parking lot infront of dicks sporting goods,I figured if any one saw it they would think I just bought it from dicks.

Gun range. I want to test fire it.

This is more or less what the Johnson County Deputy told me. So I took it down the road a bit and let him hold it while he ran the numbers. Inconveinient, but peace of mind with a clean gun.

Why not meet at a church for ftf. Or a porta-potty. They are about as reasonable as some of the suggestions in this thread.

A public parking lot, in the back is what I use. If it is a rifle, then show it in the trunk, and have a bag to cover it with for transfer. Handguns are no problem, since no one can really see them from a distance unless you wave it in the air. Just make sure its somewhere where plenty of people are around, during daylight. Stay away from college campuses .

Excellent advice!

What's wrong with meeting at a church?

Depends on whether they have a day care, DUH

Silly me!

Now, what if the aforementioned porta potties are owned by the State?
