Funny, I stopped to buy a Winchester from a guy in Glenwood Springs once, and he turned out to be an FBI agent! I didn't know this, I just arranged to meet him at his office as it was near I-70. Helluva nice guy, all he asked for was a bill of sale. Nice little Winnie Trapper in .44mag too. Wasn't any different than buying a rifle in a WalMart parking lot, just a little more privacy was all.

He did keep the rifle in his hands and in a rifle case though, until we got to my vehicle and could discretely transfer it into my case. He didn't request or demand this, he just didn't hand it over when I gave him the cash. I noticed that he maintained possession of it, but I didn't say anything because I knew why he did so. His office was in a multi-use office building where everybody there knew he was an FBI agent, but a stranger like me carrying a rifle case around would raise some eyebrows. All was very cool.
