    Cool Question about FTF transfer

    I am considering selling my rifle in a FTF transaction and would like some suggestions on locations to meet. Normally if I'm selling something non-firearm related, I will meet at a supermarket parking lot. But that doesn't seem appropriate for a long gun transfer. Your experience and advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    By the monkey bars at 3 or the swing set at 4.

    Why not the market?

    Gun shop parking lot or range parking lot would seem perfectly ordinary if that's the concern.

    A dark deserted dirt road out in the middle of nowhere. Last one I did was in a walmart parking lot, broad daylight. Just be discrete.

    I usually meet people in gun shop parking lots. Or empty parking lots of big box stores out in no mans land. Nothing shouldered, looked over in trunk, then trunk to trunk.

    If im the seller, gun shop meet up. ill act like i want it transferred, on my dime, to scare off trash.

    Township building/police dept parking lots. Broad daylight.
    There are two kinds of guns. Those I have acquired, and those I hope to.

    I have met people just about everywhere, from crowded places to remote. Ftf transactions for long guns are legal in pa, so i don't over think it.

    Is your driveway or theirs not an option? And there are probably varying thoughts on this but I suggest ensuring that the buyer is not prohibited from owning, a current LTCF works well for that.

    I've used local tasty-freeze, Walmart, gas stations, fast food joints, police stations, grocery store, side of the road, etc, etc.
