Whats with ???

post in the For Sale firearms on here and other boards lately ?
While i might be under the misguided impression that gun sales in state are a casual transaction, between 2 non-ffl folks. I am seeing a fair amount of For Sale ads where the seller insist that the buyer go through a BG check/ 4473 sale.
Granted i know some are going to say "if you don't want to do the BG check, don't buy it"
doesn't that defeat the casual sale theory?

AH for the days of casual sales w/o BG checks @ gunshows.

imho, most of it is the kaliforniacaters, and other commie out of staters that have influxed here after they made their home states uninhabitable, and are now trying to crap on our's, and in reality dont really know any better. I seen a phrase a while back that I really liked, but I dont remember where that stated, the only thing worse to see in colorado than a texas license plate is a u-haul with plates from california

the libtard brainwashing of this country is way out of hand.

best practice.. don't support it.

vote with your feet and/or wallet.

Part of the reason I try to buy local, is BECAUSE I don't have to put that gun on the confiscation list.
(ya right, I forgot, there is no list. [/sarcasm])

The seller sets the rules for his sale, and I have clicked OFF of a listing, because of the seller's rules. Most of the time a handshake will do. Occasionally I have provided, or wanted, a bill of sale, which I don't have a problem with. Some are satisfied if they can see your CCW. (if you have one) But to require a 4473 and a background check, for a face to face private sale??? I don't think so. There will be another gun along shortly.

The only thing worse would be the ads that show too much enthusiasm for the paperless transaction.

"WTB today, any model Glock, FTF only"


ummm, yeah

I like/prefer the FTF sale laws we have here in CO and wish gunshow sales would have never changed. I also feel the main reason people sell this way is to remove their name from the paperwork, thus removing them from any future trouble/questions if the firearm was ever used in an illegal manner, stolen, or whatever the case may be.

unfortunately the anti's go all the way to the point of mfg with lawsuits.

i've mentioned to some sellers i'm CCW & NFA holder most say thats good enough. there is the 1 or 2 that go so far as to roadside soberity test you (well almost)!

For nonnatives, FTF feels strange.

My first FTF was with a board member in a parking lot, and I have to say it felt awkward. I got over it. The transaction was friendly and informal.

I'm in Colorado, so try to do things "Colorado style". That includes FTF firearm sales.

I'll buy a gun anyway it comes to me, I don't care. Registered unregistered I have both. First time I bought FTF on here was a little strange for me also. Met in the back of a parking lot. Hmm...I don't know him from Adam. I've got a grand in cash he's bringing at least one gun that I know of. It must be my Komifornia roots that gave me the uneasy feeling.
Went slick as could be though. Richard K's trash is definitely my treasure.
Buy from him with total confidence.

P.S. If your not Ute, Comanche, Kiowa, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Sioux, or Pawnee just go back to wherever your cracker ass came from cause your not a "REAL" Coloradan.
P.S. I married a Colorado Native, does that give me some kind of access to a Colorado green card or anything??
