Safety tips for private sales

[FatCatsDad]

It's not about being afraid. It's about risk mitigation.

One thing mentioned is take a friend, I'd likely just turn around.
2 on 1 odds are not in your favour.

Another said it depends where you live, there is truth to that, I bought something in a rural setting last year and when I got to the gas station he had the gun out on a towel on his car hood for all to see.
No one getting gas blinked.
Was a smooth deal

I've done a couple deals out of the trunk of my car at the needs parking lot, mind you my gas station sells ammo.

When I was in the city I did them at Better Buy Sport parking lot. But I also lived not far from Bayers Lake CT where people got arrested by cops for selling airsoft in the parking lot. Even walking out of your apartment with a gun case can alarm people.

The friends thing.. It can work in your favor sometimes. I showed up with my buddy to a deal and they brought 7.

This gotta be the dumbest come back ever brought up, oooh soooo macho. Asking it as a question makes us wonder if you want to try it.

For the record, I am aware of three incidents in Toronto (Thorncliff Park area) where bandits robbed gun owners meeting for a deal.

You're going to need the heavy flow rated products by the sounds of it!

Why?

Seems like an inside job. What are the odds of some bandits walking around right as a gun deal is happening? I wouldnt be surprised if it was set up by the buyer or seller as a way to scam the other out of money or guns. Which would make me think it was some shady gpost type thing.

It was sellers who were contacted by buyers under false pretences.
