Here is the thing. I had a rifle I wanted to part with about 18 months ago. I just had no need for it,
it was taking up space and I knew there was a decent market for it. I offered it for sale in an online
forum for $500 (California). Got a message, "I'll take it" but need to inspect. Fine I said, we made
arrangements to meet at a starbucks nearby, and the guy comes with a friend. Its ok my wife is in
another car with her sidearm and AR so I wasn't worried, but they were almost "biker" like if you don't
mind the stereotype. The guy says man I'll go $560 cash right now - it looks over 50 years old. See
in California if a long gun is over 50 you don't have to go through an FFL or do any paper work - its
cash and carry. Now I'm not stupid and know my rifle had a DOB in the 1970's (early) so its no
where near 50. I said no I have to go thorugh the local gun shop. There is one a mile that way,
and one a mile the other way. Which do you prefer. "Never mind" the guy says and walks. As he
got to his car I wasn't far away, I heard the words, "no joy" and upon looking his way and seeing
him look back he flashed his badge from under the velcro. Had I said yes in hopes of making $60
instantly - I'd lost my grandfathers Colt SAA's and Winchester lever, my fathers WWII used 1911
and M1, my service weapons from my time in federal agencies and local police including the first
one with the funny story about being bought by my mom since I was too young (in CA) to buy it
but could carry it. I'd have lost them all - for $60 - or for being on the "black market."
This is why gun control laws really get under my skin. They are traps and if you fall into the traps
you LOSE EVERYTHING!
Go buy a legal gun.
i live in new jersey i think its the only way i can get a gun im not sure
