I had a good laugh about this. The guy reminded me of the soup nazi from Seinfeld..."NO SOUP FOR YOU." I never heard back from him anyway, enjoy the read
(For the record, I'm not complaining. I really could care less about this deal not happening. I just found this guys email etiquette hilarious.)
Also, I'm pretty positive this was a scam based on this guys responses. So anyone dealing with "Kelvin," be warned.

From: Me
If you're in Indianapolis, I can pick it up in person. I'm an Indiana resident, and it's legal for me to own a handgun. I've got a valid Indiana LTCH and drivers license, and a face to face transaction is legal in Indiana with no FFL involved.
Indy isn't very far from me. I can drive to you to make the transaction.
Why would you want to ship to an FFL?

Then for get about it,no deal!
From: Me
No need to get angry. I'm asking a legitimate question. I've done many firearm trasactions over armslist and INGO face to face, and they've all been fine. In Indiana, you don't have to go through an FFL, so I'm just asking why you only want to ship to an FFL.
I'd be uncomfortable sending payment sight unseen to someone I don't know. I'm not saying you are a scammer, but there are scammers out there.
If you absolutely must go through an FFL, I have no problem with it. Like I said, I'm legal, and have no issues filling out and passing a background NICS check. I've done it many times.
Would you be willing to meet at your local FFL face to face and do the transaction through them? This will allow you to have me checked in the NICS system for your peace of mind, and for us to do the transaction face to face so that I'm not blindly sending money to a stranger that I've never met.
I do, however, ask that you pay for the NICS check as it's unnecessary. Like I said, I have a valid license to cary and an Indiana drivers license that you can look at to show that it's legal for me to buy a gun from you if you would like.
