Doubt you'll be doing much selling around here.
lol..... ill tend to agree....
but here is another post from someone requiring ccw or cbi: http://www.cosportbikeclub.org/forum...ad.php?t=18037
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but this forum is for EVERYBODY. If you want to discriminate against most of the people on this forum why are you here? There are forums for police and military only. Why don't you go there and tell them how regular Americans on this website are not good enough to sell to...
BTW Your ad is "crapping" on this website and most of the people on it.
all that being said, i dont blame him for being so cautious with this sue happy state we live in.... ive been in texas for a week and a half and i havent seen ONE "call me first to sue someone" commercial.... lol
scenario #1 - guy sells gun to felon with no cbi, felon shoots up the town hall, admits to buying gun from guy, now guy is sued by victims families....
just playing devils advocate...... i dont mind a FTF transfer.... thats how i sold all my guns, and bought some of them.... but its getting bad.... if the above scenario hasnt happened yet, ill bet it will soon.
Fine, you wanna talk, let's talk.
CO is a "shall issue" CCW state, so anyone without a serious criminal record can get one. I sure hope that majority of people on this site have their permits.
Back to the point of so called "discrimination". I've sold guns FTF, but mostly to close friends or relatives. Everyone else, I don't know from Adam. Last year I was selling a .22 pistol online (not on this site) and some guy agreed very quickly, without even haggling over the price. When we met to do FTF, the guy didn't even want to show me his DL or sign a very simple bill of sale. He acted strangely and I told him that I wasn't comfortable selling him the pistol and hightailed it out of there. I don't know if the guy was just paranoid or a convicted felon, but I made a decision not to sell FTF without at least some kind of personal assurance that the other guy is not prohibited by law to own guns. I don't take people's fingerprints, I don't make them demonstrate their proficiency with a firearm and I don't ask them to submit to a drug test. I fully support the right to sell guns FTF, without any background checks, but the conditions for my sales are for personal reasons and are not outrageous, IMO. If you're a regular Joe, without a CCW, I know a dealer that will do a transfer for a minimal fee. Otherwise, you can go and buy a gun somewhere else.
Funny thing is on his ad in another forum, he has a link
www.2aforum.com
ok, who here doesn't have a CCW ?
and if not, WHY?
think of the money you can save
(although, I think having a CCW could have the opposite effect)
You're absolutely correct Trempel. You're totally free to sell on your terms. (I do love free markets!) It's seller's prerogative, right? However, the majority of members to this forum have a certain general mentality (freedom, liberty, limited government, the Constitution, you know, basic stuff). And if you want to try to sell to me, you'll have more success if you share that mentality (buyer's prerogative). Look at it this way, if you you were going to sell granola up in The People's Republic of Boulder, would you try to sell anything other than organic, carbon-neutral, gluten-free granola that was bagged by some hippie standing in a yoga pose? Of course not. Don't take offense to the comments, just consider your audience. Cheers.
I ain't the government and I'm not here to infringe on anyone's freedom, liberty or Constitutional rights. You wanna buy a gun? I'm not stopping you. People here are so up in arms about me asking for a LE/Mil ID or CCW permit, like they've never filled out a 4473 and submitted to a crim history check in a gun store.
BTW, "basic stuff", is also things like manners and tact. For example, refraining from turning a sales ad into a discussion arena.
Enlighten me. What's so funny about it?
