Seeing how the other thread was locked even though it was an early devolpment with nothing illegal done on my side.
I contacted a lawyer, a real Sal bastard who told me to not discuss the issue with the police. I did a report and had it notarized and chalked it off as a bad judgement call.
The perp called me last night, said he had $5000 and that he wanted 4 AK type weapons. I declined and wished him my best as far as his cause goes. He was adamant that he needed these weapons by the end of this week and asked for the best place to get them in such a short amount of time. I told him to try a dealer and he laughed at the ideal.
He had a Virginia phone number this time.
At this juncture I am willing to bet that this is a fed who is deep in the shit and I hope I sent him on a different fishing trip and to be honest with you, I hope he catches some big fish in the process. Shouldn't be hard in this kind of economy.
What I learned.
This is not Wisconsin, I never had a problem buying or selling firearms in WI. I frequently used Armslist as a tool to acquire some beautiful weapons in the past and I have sold a few out of my collection and used the money to acquire other items for this hobby that we all share, a hobby/lifestyle that all of us on this board love and hold true to our beliefs.
I will sell only on consignment at a dealer if I ever decide to sell a weapon again.
I learned there are no "brothers" on the net. People in this hobby community are frightened easily, even when discussing a legal transaction with fellow patriots while they sit on a high horse and lock down discussion. I admit I got spooked and morally I was in the wrong but by that juncture of the transaction there was no way to group my stature and press on. Legally, I am in the clear and I have nothing to hide, that is why I came to a public firearms forum with a question knowing that there is a group of guys here with backgrounds in the areas of law and enforcement of laws.
To lock a thread like that baffles me. It's not like I put anyone here in jeopardy, I needed advice at 2am. I have seen much worse go on for pages on other forums. I have been a member of gunsnet since 1999 and I have even contributed money to this site in the past but yet locked down when advice is trully needed cause a thread "creeps" someone out, just to have it unlocked so some asshat chimes in with his bs 2 cents.
I do want to thank a few people on this board for giving me the info I needed before the lock was thrown, I would have been lost without some of the wise advice given, you know who you are and thank you.
