Question about FTF transfer

[knight0334]

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!

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

Sheetz has lots of cameras if shit goes south.

My last was at a WaWa parking lot that was packed with people.

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.

Usually my method too. Gun shop if possible, empty end of big parking lot if not. Keep it low and dont brandish...never had issues. Rarely a park and ride location, if I trust the buyer. Once when I was younger, a restaurant parking lot that neighbored a daycare (not my sharpest moment then, and definitely not one to repeat now...be aware of your surroundings).

Supermarket, wawa, CVS, park, literally whatever landmark is halfway between the buyer and seller. Don't wave it around and doubt anyone will notice.

LOL!
Yeah, just what I want - a videotaped FTF gun transfer!
May as well just go to an FFL - there would be more privacy that way! haha

I am not going to say a long arm transfer is not going to raise any attention in our lobby, but we have recommended our lobby to anybody doing a transfer,sale,etc of anything such as Ebay, classified ads, etc.

Bought my last one in a gas station parking lot. It was broad day light. Turns out I knew the guy. My last optic purchase was in a restaurant parking lot. Knew that guy too. Its a small world.

Oh, absolutely. Our station has a few parking spots designated with signage as reserved for meet ups for selling things.
I just wouldn't do it with a rifle - but that's because it defeats part of the reason I love FTF transfers - it's nobody else's business but mine and the seller's/buyers

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.

with the smell of sex in the air?

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.

Parking lot purchase of an arsenal's worth (on a TV scale) of .223 today. So far, no helo or black Suburbans.
