There's a safe way to go about it . We all have done it many times .
I get that! As you say; there is a right way (and a wrong way), to interact with strangers. However, I would venture a guess, that a lot of folks (way too many), are far too trusting of strangers! The crime statistics don't belie that either. Just remind your family and friends, that the commercials on tv depicting how loving, caring, and diverse we all are in America are pre-staged scripted horseshit! Criminal savagery and predatory practices are alive and well.
At least on here, you can see if a potential buyer or seller has a history of posts, sales transactions, or personal recommendations from other known members.
Agreed. All one has to do is google "facebook marketplace murder" and there are plenty of reminders we live in a very dangerous world.
It's a damn shame this young man met his end like this- because it was certainly avoidable.
I can't help but feel badly for his family. Raising him from a newborn only to have him eventually taken away by some WORTHLESS POS. I can't relate to their pain.....
JPSO now has safe zones in a couple of their parking lots for online sales. I wonder how they feel about a gun inspection and sale right in front of their door?

They have the same at Hammond Police Dept with 24/7 video monitoring, right in front of their building. I'm really surprised more peeps don't get jacked up in a citizen to citizen gun sale really. I sold quite few pieces in my collection in the last 8 months and i meet at the same spot most every time, a walgreens parking lot with video cameras. Only during daylight unless I personally know you.
I have thought about moving my meet spot to HPD's parking lot behind their main building. I think that would be quite a deterrent for a robbery or worse. I know they have people out there who would shoot you dead for an $800 AR15 rifle. Or a $2k Colt Python. Even a glock 17, the savages. In NOLA, if they are willing to murder a guy for a dirt bike, what do you think they would do for an AK or AR right now?

I think most people are trusting, but just cause most people are trusting doesn't mean everyone. I have stopped to help people with car troubles, and have ruined, according to my wife, way too many, dress pants and shirts, helping people get unstuck in the snow (lived in alaska for a bit), changing tires, and even helped someone put back on her slipped worn out accessory belt. I will say, in all cases, I texted my wife saying, hey i am here, helping this (description of person, car and plate) if i don't answer back in 15 minutes call me.
But I will say this, I won't ever stop for anyone if I have my family in the car, not putting all of us in some potential danger.

jus be smart about things, meeting locations, what your buying? try and get some details about your seller. and carry your piece with you!
Good points! If I am dealing with someone with no feedback or anyone on Sportsman, I will talk at length on the phone and make sure that I am dealing with an actual collector.
