Just wanted to know what ya’ll think. I have a gun deal I’m trying to set-up with someone on armslist. The problem is he wants to meet me in a parking lot during dark hours. Of course it turns dark early now, but I’ve got a rule that I never meet anyone in the dark. I feel safe with OK Shooter members that have been around awhile, but not with armslist members. My question.....do you think I’m just being paranoid?

no, you are not being paranoid.............the number of armslist scams out there and "close call" that I've heard about is actually frightening.

that's why we should all thank our lucky stars for the quality of members on the OSA web-site.

If it were me,,,,,,,,,I would be concerned. If someone really wants the firearm, he could find a way to meet during the day in a public place of your choosing........... Just my two cents.

Or take 2 buddies with ya. One that carries concealed, one that carries open.
If meeting at dark, do so in a well lit area, near a place that you know has cameras watching.

I would not want to do an Armslist deal after dark. I don't like doing any deal after dark.

One of the most important ways to stay out of a bad situation is to be aware of your surroundings. It is much more difficult to do so if it is dark.

If you do decide to meet up after dark, take the advice given here, to do so in a well lit area, preferably with cameras, and have a couple of buddies looking out for you.

Yeah I’ve been trying to get him to meet me on the weekend during the day.....but he says he’s too busy, and works late during the week day.

This is kind of sad sounding........but I have no friends, I’m a loner (other than the wife....and I wouldn’t bring her).
