Beware PM offers from noobs...

[ronny]

I once had a new guy from Kansas who wanted to meet me in OKC to buy my gun. I explained the law to him, he said "Oh, I didn't know", and we then completed the transaction the correct way, through his FFL. Just because someone asks you to do something that is illegal doesn't automatically mean he's aware of the mistake he's about to make. Educate him and then see what his response is.

I have made sexual advances towards myself in private messaging. It's a good thing that I really like me or I would be greatly offended.

Use the little black triangle beside "blog this post" in the lower left corner of every post to report it to the moderators. That's for those who didn't know what that thing was.

You also made inappropriate sexual advances towards me in a PM. I'm still offended. I didn't even know what that thing with the coat hanger was you kept talking about. I had to Google it, YUCK!!!

Greetins sir. I Do you still have the AR-47 and AK-15 for sale? I will pay you the agreed upon price and have my agent come to you for to arrange the pickup. I am an off shore oceanographer and unfortunately can only talk by e-mail. Please send me your Paypal account as it is because it is the only was to avoid scammers. It is the muchly agreed on method for internet safety transactions and is safely and secure. I will pay the agreed upon price and and extra $10,000 for your troubles and it will be from my father's Nigerian Prince bank account if you will send me $5000 cash.............

That dude dont know much about guns. Sounds like the same guy I made a deal to sell a jennings 25 auto to for $1200.00. Swore he lived in OK when he wasnt out oceanographering.

Thanks for the warning ez. You probably saved my bacon because I'm gullible.

On a similar and possibly related topic - I noticed in WalMart the other day a hand-written list taped up instructing employees "do not sell weapons to residents of" and a list of a dozen or so different states, followed by some text about until determining legalities, etc.

I mention it because I wonder if any of these knee-jerk laws could cause someone a problem in a FTF sale in Oklahoma? For instance, say an Oklahoma resident sells a firearm to an Illinois resident in Oklahoma - any chance of the Oklahoma resident getting grief from Illinois? Or worse, from Oklahoma?

Thanks for the heads up EZ.
