I've about stopped a few with a bald bearded tatted up dude driving a Lil mini Kia. Kinda freaked me out, but I'm still alive.

Never had a prob with anybody here. FB transaction I make sure I'm armed to the teeth. Which is weird cause you can see most all the info about them online. If they've been posting on FB for years then they should be legit.

Bald tattooed guy driving a kia? That sounds super sketchy.

I have only walked away from a few deals.

I was looking to buy a scar17 and was contacted by a member that he could get me one for a really low price. He asked for the money up front as he said that he was short on credit with his vendors. After finding out he is a guy that has been perma banned here and is in now back using another name, recently divorced and according to his website does not have his FFL or his business anymore, I was not going to hand over $2800 cash upfront to him.

SDA permit works good for validation. However I would not want my personal information sitting around in someones safe years from now. If they are that worried they should keep the guns, give them to a local LEO, or sell them to a FFL.

A UV light works much better than the counterfeit pens.

You and I would not ever do business. Your requirements are absurd. We still have our rights. In the state of Oklahoma, all that needs to be asked is, "Are you able to legal buy and own this gun" Period.

I see Henschman beat me too it, but ya you don't even need to ask, unless you already know they are not legal and you have no duty to research

Right on! Only time I have asked, if they look to young to me. That is all. I have met up with a couple gents off Arm's list that handed me the weapon to look at, I said I would take it. And they whip out a Bill of sale, I laugh and tell em I don't need it, and you don't either. Never had one NOT take my green moola!

I made the drive to Choctaw once. Guy handed over a rifle and asked for my license. I laughed, he didn't. I went home empty handed.

He was a talkative old guy. Kept trying to explain how I needed to sign a hand written receipt.

by far, I've had my best FTF deals with the members here from Tulsa. Meet up, shake hands, exchange money/guns. Done.

Ive never met or dealt with any OSA'rs outside of the 918 area but this is how we usually roll down here. Never had a problem with anybody around here. Dont want to sell or buy without some kind of paperwork or see a license, then dont. Im clean as a whistle always have been so guess youll just have to take my word for it, plus Im always carrying and do when we meet as well so I had to be legal here to have got my CC in the first place so that should be good enough, if not, o well.
