I just called about the two tone SS glock ONLY because I have really been wanting one and they are hard to get, ok I never even see one in a store untill now......
Not to defend a scoundrel like Don, but any gun shop of any decent size appears to be on the list including Bradis and Albros. Anything from the Bradys should be taken with a large dose of salt.

I don't know but i take a little bit of offense to this statement, I don't have alot of posts, but does that mean any firearm I buy from a member is gonna be a "community gun" or "used in a crime"? Let's be frank for a minute, if you do a ftf sale and the person buying your weapon gives you reason to question their intent...don't sell them the gun! It may sound a little thin skinned but everyone has to start somewhere right.Lets keep something realistic in perspective: One of the people in the OP story had a valid carry permit. Trying to sell a gun to the work program kid or working with him should be basis for taking his permit away. Also shows us how careful we must be, even on this board. With hoodlums getting more and more "intelligent", the person who buys your gun that only has a few posts could easily be buying it for a crime or a community gun. That or the gun you are selling could be stolen, you never know. I am always leery of someone who wants to buy my gun that only has 10 posts (or less) as I dont know them.
Perhaps it is time for each member to really begin their own "registration program" so they know who they sold that gun to. This is also important as the "reciept" from a sale or similar could be used to recover the gun in cases. I remember someone had a bunch of guns stolen from their home was in AAC with a VERY vague list of guns stolen. No serial numbers, some were just "Charter", no model name or number. This is critically important for folks to keep track of their numbers and get them written down somewhere, the more official the better (reciepts, trade information slips, etc..). This has certainly been an eye opener for me and I hope everyone else.
With that being said, Vern is now a "registration" state, count on filling out a paper (the form Vern-1234) . I just passed the bill this morning... Attached as a rider to a spending bill...
I am a young, bored white guy.
But those couple of nights I was there, I saw a lot of hardware leave after hours.
I think there is a "possibility" not "tendency" with any transaction, but being judged by post count or appearance (such as tattoos) and I have quite a few of those, I believe is a disservice to this forum. Like I said before, make your judgement after meeting me not by how much bull I can talk through the internet. I also am a bored, young white guy, and I am sorry if I take things personally. All seriousness aside, Don's is a joke, I was in there once and there was one "employee" standing behind the counter with what looked to be a gold plated, diamond encrusted Jennings Nine and he was racking the slide and dry firing it, I didn't think too much of it until I realized the thing was pointed in my direction, when I loudly said something about it, I got the "it isn't loaded" response, I turned to leave and saw Don himself sitting at the desk doing almost the same thing with a double action revolver, I got the hell out of there and have never went back. Beside the fact there prices are ridiculous, they are unsafe and not very knowledgeable about what they are selling, they really must not want to make any money and must love selling guns to people that have no idea what gun ownership means or is all about. Well, now that I have got my soap box time over with, no hard feelings disposableheart.I wouldnt take offense to it. No where did I state that those with low posts are criminals, however, the tendency is there with ANY transaction, no matter the post count. There is a trust level that needs to be built up. Heck, I could be a criminal (and have several friends that will tell you that I am! ). Joking aside, anyone can be a criminal. You are taking it personally and you shouldn't. I am a young, bored white guy. Supposedly I am much more suceptible to commit a crime than an older guy and am reminded of that when I am carded for booze or fill out gun forms. But, I dont take it personally, if anything, in stride.
