Gun Deal at chinese man theater

[spqrzilla]

Also, to the more friendly firearm area, it is my understanding it is illegal to do a private party transaction anywhere where guns are sold, maybe someone can set me straight.

No such law. It is illegal to do a private party transaction at a gun show, or with any part of the transaction occuring at a gun show, without having a background check done. (With a couple of exceptions like for Curios and Relics ...)

Well it looks like it's working, they've managed to place a stigma on perfectly legal transactions convincing members of a gun forum to condone skulking around as though they were conducting a drug deal. A sad day indeed.

Nonsense. "They" created concerns that people with firearms hanging around large public gatherings like movie theaters might be planning a mass shooting. "They" being the Century 16 shooter, the Clackamas Mall shooter, and the CT shooter. I see nothing wrong with police response in the described incident.

people are edge, someone saw you and it all worked out okay. the police did their job, you did your job and everyone went home happy. too bad people are soo up tight, but given the recent events I can't blame them too much.

JMHO, but I feel such a visit by the po-po would call for the utmost in politeness and cooperation. Certainly NOT a time to be in cooperative and start yapping about "rights", or refusing anything.

Yup, pick your battles.
Face it, in the environment today anything to do with firearms is going to be demonized.
As far as the LE giving you his "opinion" it is exactly that and not the law.

As far as deals at Sportsmans or such remember, if a transaction is conducted on the premises of a FFL, a 4473 must be executed at time of transfer. Let's not put them in a bad spot.

Lol, I guess you could call it "gun porn", that 338 Lapua looks like porn its so sweet. Why do you think all the officers went to look at it!

I once bought a 92FS from a cop in a CSU parking lot, his choice of location, on a Sunday afternoon.

I usually like to meet at a sporting goods store if at all possible.

So, I'm wondering what everyone thinks about this situation?

You chose poorly.

I agree. I think there should be some discretion, but I am a little disapointed with some of these comments. I don't see a problem with the quick exchange (preferably conceal it next time) from one vehicle to another. If you want to chat, have at it. Now I would agree with most here, if you were breaking the law, but it doesn't sound like to you were. What's next? Seriously? I'm at a loss for words.
