private firearm sale... where?

[StreetDoctor]

I'm selling a rifle and I'd rather make the transaction in a public place. Any recommendations? I've never sold a firearm before.

Stay away from schools, theaters, shopping malls ...

I like Gander mtn, Sportsmans warehouse, ect. People don't freak out as much in those parking lots as there are commonly guns going in and out.

+1. Your favorite LGS is a good place too.

ETA: now that I think about it, I may be wrong on this one. I think I remember someone recently saying something about a private transaction being a legal issue when on the premises of an FFL holder. . . I'm sure someone will chime in soon and let us know if this is right.

Sportsmans, Gander, Dicks sporting goods. If you were in a more rural area i'd suggest sherman williams paint, autozone, king soopers....

Definitely some where people wont freak out and call the cops. If dealing with someone from armslist i would say some where well lit and take a friend. Sportsmans or somewhere is best.

If dealing on armslist of with people you dont know about places like wal mart are good because the parking lot has cameras in case it goes south.

Wal Mart parking lots, way out away from the door usually works well. Same with Lowes and Home Depot.

If the buyer has feedback (lots of it) here on this board, you can usually be pretty confident that things will go just as planned.

Stay away from post office parking lots if it is a complete firearm.

Be safe.

I try to use Walgreens parking lots

Great ideas... I'm a little nervous as it's from Armslist and the dude offered me a lot of money for my AR. Which I openly posted as asking way to much but if it'll pay to take my wife on the honeymoon she never had so be it, it is what it is.

In noo way an attorney but, If it is a private transaction I don't see an issue with it. Shoot I am an FFL and if two guys wanted to do a transaction in my presence (on premises) I don't think there would be an issue. I am open to learn as well so maybe an attorney will chime is......
