Right or Wrong: FFL and OSA members opinions needed

[Stephen Cue]

Now, back to you explaining how the fact that I did something wrong in the past makes it OK for other people to do the same.

First, I never said it was "wrong" to change your mind and blackout of a deal, that's your cross to bear.

But now that you admit YOU think it is wrong to do so, and admit doing it, your post seems hypocritical.

Or is it that he chapped a gouger, and you wanted him to feel bad for enacting "internet justice"?

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!

 

[Glock N Load]

I think you did the right thing as well. It shouldn't go to someone who is only here to make money!

Man I'm going to have to set up a damn RSS feed or something... I'd have taken the 6920 $50 under MSRP then sold my 1,000 dollar franken rifle for $2000... J/K I ain't selling ****. Therefore I can't afford to buy.

Did you have to take a really long hot shower?

My opinion, if ANYONE is going to be the one making killer profit on a firearm, it should probably be the guy that sells the, for a living. I wonder how many firearms Patrick has sold at less than 5% profit over the years just trying to get his business going? The fact that he was just trying to give someone a good deal on a gun and that person was going to flip it? Screw em. I still believe that buying firearms from a dealer with the express intent of flipping them for profit is a violation of firearms laws. If Patrick doesn't feel right about it, he ain't gotta do it... Period. I'm sure he doesnt need any possible BS with the .gov over sales.

FWIW, I STILL want a Seekins lower at normal prices, Patrick!!! And I SWEAR it will never get sold from my warm living hands...

Which laws??

 

[shooterdave]

The whole doing business without a license part. These is a reason the definition of "doing business" is not defined very well on a 4473. Let them get on your a$$ and see if you are innocent until proven guilty...

I hope people keep telling us how Patrick is running his business wrong when almost 93% of the active members of the community he does business with daily approve of his judgement.

Clearly things would be better for him if he catered to the 7%. Or should I say The Honorable Seven Percent.

It really isn't that difficult to understand.

I don't have a problem with not selling the rifle to him, I just think he should have checked him out before he agreed on the sale. But, again I don't have a big problem with it.
