I agreed to take the deposit because I got a good feeling from him. It’s the first gun he was buying post divorce so maybe there’s something there that needs to cleared.

I like to believe I’m good at reading people, has served me well in my various careers and never got the feeling something was off.

Thanks for the insights.
Ah, maybe an RO from the divorce......
