I carefully advertised and sold a hicap mag on Ebay (it's all how you word it).  the buyer sent his m/o and when I got ready to ship it, I realized the buyer was in Kalifornia.  I emailed the buyer and advised him thatI didn't think it was going to be legal for him to receive and possess the mag due to his state laws.  I let him know that I would mail it somewhere else (relative in  different state??) or I would return his money order.  He said just to mail it back to him.

I mailed him back the money order and I just got it back today as return to sender, address unknown??

As far as I know, the blame would lie on him for receiving the mag and I'm not aware of any laws concerning shipping to Kali, but since I know he can't legally receive it, can I somehow be charged w/a crime?  Am I the test case??  Was I set up?  If this was a "sting", it would be easy for the feds to have the m/o "returned".

What do I do now about the money order??  

Paranoid?

As long as the mag was pre-ban and legal per the 1994 Act, the only law broken would be, I would guess, the possession by your buyer of a high cap mag in Kalifornia and this would be only a Kalifornia offense attributable to him, not a Federal offense attributable to you.

I am not an attorney and this is only a guess.
Besides, you did not ship to Kali anyway. I would hold the MO until you hear from the guy again.

These stinking gun laws only burden the honest and law abiding!!!!!!!

Sounds shady but I don't know if it was a setup. Very shady though.

As long as you aren't going to be in that state, screw 'em!

You know...just about any intern lawyer would have a field day with that dude's case.  It's called ENTRAPMENT!  How about soliciting a FELONY too?  Well...we'll see but I think that [dummy] guy will walk.

Beware out there!  Our world is full of antis that want our guns and will do anything to get them.
