Attempted Fraud - Phoney PAL

Why would they do something about it….When it was possibly a fedboy checking for compliance? I’ve had two failed attempts in the last month for a private sale. One straw purchase attempt and one failed P.A.L. check that he later told me he knew it would fail. I called one of them out directly as a fed, and even after reporting the PMs he wasn’t banned on here...

Who owns this forum? Used to be it was a someone with a username 'greentips', but someone said that 'greentips' had sold it. To whom?

First I've heard of it, I would have thought that news would have been on the front page for a few days at least.... ?

I highly doubt GT sold the forum. I had a similar exp where a person should been banned but wasn't. And more I pushed for them to, I basically was told I'd be banned if I don't stop.

Setting up "stings" is standard operating investigative procedure that was adopted during the FLQ years in Quebec. It's highly successful when dealing with idiots who don't know their rights under the law. Unfortunately, the only crooks that get caught are the stupid ones.....which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

So when the cops decides that your 10 rounder mags are no bueno and set you up for a fall and your behind is being dragged through the judicial system to be madw an example of, do I support your cause by calling you stupid? A person may think they know their rights but Canadain rights are far different than American rights. The garbage in Bill C-11 would not even make in on paper in the United States.

Damn right.
 
You guys don't really believe that gun control is about making us safer, do you? lol You don't actually think they want to stop crime do you?

It was an unlicensed person trying to get a gun locally. They were going to have a person with a PAL use their license # for the ref check/to purchase it, but wouldn't be there with the actual sale, as they live in the interior. I figured this out because it was exactly what they told me. When I called the straw purchase, they assured me it was ok to do..... It was not. The guy with the license didn't get a ban here, oddly enough.

The only concern is that the VALID PAL holder was not going to be present at the transaction.

What would possibly have taken place after the sale is none if your concern.
