PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: BE CAREFUL TO FOLLOW THE LAW ON GUN COMMERCE BOARDS!
8/1/2016 | By Laz A. Mataz

Posted on 08/01/2016 7:01:16 AM PDT by Lazamataz

I posted an advert on Armslist for the last firearm I own. These are tough times for me, I am unemployed and had no reserve fund. Thankfully, I just consummated the sale so now I can rest easy financially.

I got a message: "I live in TN but work on GA. .....Would you be willing to sell it to me? Also, can you take pictures and send them to me? Thanks."

Well THAT would break the law!

My response: "I'm afraid not. .....but the law in Georgia (and perhaps federally) is that in order to sell a firearm in a private sale (with no FFL transfer), both parties must be residents of the same state. Otherwise an FFL transfer is required. There are no exceptions.......In the event you didn't know that, please take note. They will merrily prosecute you too, law-enforcement or no......just a heads up for your benefit...."

DO NOT TRANSFER A FIREARM IN A GEORGIA PRIVATE SALE unless both you and the buyer are both Georgia residents. Don't go afoul of Federal Law!!!

Hey Laz....I live up in Jasper and have a CWL...what is it you want to sell that is your ‘last’ gun? I gather you must be in Woodstock or near it. I might be interested...

A common ‘op’ for federal LE. They need to justify their inflated budgets...so they resort to, what ammounts to, entrapment. Its OK if the pols are ignorant of the law but not you.

Excellent advice, Laz.

This governnment has proven that it cannot be trusted at any level.

Also—good advice—don’t reveal too much about what you have, on-line.

Op sec.

The speculation was not needless.

IMO.

YMMV.

Laz, just say: "My intent was not to sell a Title 2 firearm across state lines without ATF approval" -

USE THE HILLARY DEFENSE!
