Good shoot, I always worry about that with FTF transactions dealing on CL, but I always make sure they're in a very public place and always carry. I also check my six when I drive away. Hate to be that way, but it beats being a victim.

I'm packing for EVERY Craigslist sale or purchase. And any gun-related purchases/sales are made in the parking lot of Sportsman's Warehouse in Albuquerque.

People don't take Craigslist transaction seriously enough.
Old Mustang GT parts and race car beds really bring out the nut cases.

I'd shoot an attempted jacker too. |

People sure are naive to the fact that...
arranging to meet someone somewhere with a couple hundred bucks in their pocket, puts them into a perfect position to become a victim. Way better score than robbing the pizza delivery guy.  |

F2f is good to use public places and be armed. A outside friend is also good especially if it's something that needs picked up at/delivered to your residence. This way you can check out the buyer/seller and have pics before they follow you to finish the transaction. So far i've never had a problem.

I usually drive away from CL sales where the other party brings another man to hold his hand. I don't want the buyer/seller ganging up on me (as they did in this news story) by bringing his thug friends along. If I see he can't conduct a deal by himself as an adult, I'll find someone else to deal with :-) Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Another good shoot. This happened right down the road from me. I actually bought a shotgun (sweet wood stock 1300 Defender 12) from a guy in the Cracker Barrel parking lot right next door to this IHOP a few months ago. He had really good feedback on the other gun sight so I wasn't too concerned but I did exercise my right as a Texas to have a pistol in my car just in case. I'm just patiently waiting for the great state of Texas to send me my CHL. http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local_news/Man_shot_during_Craigslist_transaction.html By Valentino Lucio - Express-News A man, who attempted to make a Craigslist transaction, ended up shooting a would-be buyer Monday afternoon on the city's Northwest Side, officials said. The 21-year-old buyer was shot twice in the left leg and was taken to Wilford Hall Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries. He faces charge of aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon after he tried to take the camera away from the seller, a police report states. Neither the buyer, nor the seller were identified. The shooting occurred around noon in the parking lot of an IHOP restaurant in the 120 block of Southwest Loop 410 near U.S. 151, the report states. The seller told police he placed a camera for sale on Craigslist and that he went to meet the alleged buyer at the IHOP parking lot. As the seller waited in his vehicle at the restaurant, he noticed the buyer and two other men in a car. When the seller called the assailant over to make the transaction, the buyer approached the vehicle with another man and demanded a camera, the report states. The 37-year-old seller saw the man lift his shirt to retrieve a weapon and that's when he pulled out a handgun and shot the assailant twice, the report states. The assailant managed to make his way to a nearby Cracker Barrel restaurant where police found him. It is unknown if police found his weapon or the two other assailants. It is likely the seller will not face any charges in the shooting, police said. - gotta love Texas It wont help you much there. |

I have some items to get rid of and haven't decided which way to go. Ebay would be much easier it seems, even with looking at the hassle to get started. You get the cash first, then mail it at your convenience.

Wal-mart has more security cameras than the White House... Definitely a good place for FTF deals.
Ever notice that few cars get broken into at Wal-Mart's these days? There is a reason for that. Quoted: Ive done plenty of FTF's from the EE inn walmart parking lots in the south side of San Antonio and never had any issues. Was always packing though, good shoot. |

There is a reason for that. Quoted: I've done plenty of FTF's from the EE inn walmart parking lots in the south side of San Antonio and never had any issues. Was always packing though, good shoot. Actually not so much. I had a case five years ago that involved an incident in the wal-mart parking lot. Client said that if I got the tapes from wal-mart they would completely exonerate him. He was said to have pulled a gun out of his pants and waved it around in the air. It was late at night and the witness and the witnesses father were the only people who saw it. Walmart filibustered. Would not turn the tapes over, or allow them to be viewed. Did everything in their power to stop us including destroying the tapes. Why not just subpoena the tapes? In GA you can subpoena things like tapes but unlike civil discovery you cannot simply demand they be brought to your office. They have to be brought to a court date and at that court-date they have to be used as evidence. So you have to have a motion or hearing or trial to have them produced. By the time I was able to get a valid subpoena Wal-Mart had destroyed the tapes so they would not be involved. So the moral of the story is, You can forget about Wal-mart using their tapes to help solve a crime. I was able to secure an acquittal for my client, but he never would have been prosecuted if those tapes had been made available. |
