I'd put the percentages as follows:


  • 85% Otherwise law abiding gun owner fed up with the stupid law and knows that most LEOs in state have outright stated they won't enforce the law and this is their act of civil disobedience.
  • 10% Criminal looking to get around BGC.
  • 4.9% "Journalist" or anti 2A activist setting up sting.
  • .1% Cop setting up sting.


The problem with that analysis is that it presumes that the only negative consequence to selling in violation of the BGC law is either getting "outed" by a journalist or getting busted by the cops in a sting.

I can think of at least one other negative consequence: The gun you sold in the parking lot is then used in a crime or a suicide and when the cops trace the serial number it comes back to you. If the records show that you possessed the gun after the BGC law went into effect (say you bought the gun in December 2013 and filled out a 4473 with that date) you're going to have some 'splainin' to do.
