    Default Craigslist Heist

    http://www.9news.com/news/article/21...oint-in-Aurora

    Personally I try to get all my transactions with strangers done during daylight hours. There is no way I am meeting someone in a remote place in Aurora at night. As an avid seller on CL I know that I am responsible for my well being during a transaction. The few times that I have invited buyers over to my place to look at goods (larger items) I had guns hidden all over my place in case SHTF.

    I have never had a problem with a cragislist transaction, but never meet people with out a weapon for that reason right there.

    Whenever I've done a large cash transaction on Craigslist, I've carried when we met, which was nowhere near my house.

    I am with you on this one. I recently sold a trailer on CL. I met in a business parking lot and I was carrying .

    From now on, I want to conduct all gun transactions in the food court at Park Meadows Mall...just to be safe.

    What would happen in a case like the above, if you were carrying but didn't have a ccw permit? What if he pulled a gun on you and you defended yourself? What kind of legal battle are you up against?

    Also just being aware, body language says a lot.

    One of the victims said that the dude was shaking as he approached.

    Red Flag.

    To me that says your working up the courage to do something stupid. The guy also stated that he didnt think he presented a threat because of his age and appearance.. Seriously... A 16yo girl can shoot you or walk up and stab you just as quick as a grizzly lookin crack head.

    If he has a deadly weapon, a gun or knife and threatens me with it. Im going to shoot him..

    Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6...

    EDIT: Didn't see the bit about not having a permit, that's a different deal..

    I always carry when meeting anyone...but I carry any time I am outside the house and usually have a gun or ten laying around ready to roll if needed.
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.
