I posted a Charles daly .45 and a AK in .223 on craigslist and got booted! I don't know if it was do to them following Commiefornia laws, or if some anti-gun freek flagged my post. Has anyone else had this problem?

First, you cannot post firearms for sale on CL. It's their website and their rules.

Second, tell me a little more about this AK in .223

Guns that get listed on CL have a very short posting span. I think there are assholes who literally spend their day waiting for guns to get listed so they can flag them.

I have made a few prank lists back in the day and people actually contacted me about the guns.

thanks,
Ron

Here is a post they pulled a long time ago.

http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/spo/233060512.html

Assault buttplug for sale:
This buttplug has been ever so gently shoved up several asses. This buttplug best fits the anus of those that like to "flag' gun sales and act as if they already have a huge cock stuck up their ass. This will help them relax a little more and not be so anal and report people that are selling firearms.

I did not see anywhere that you couldn't post guns. I kinda figured that they might just bitch about my big bad AK-47 BWK -92 Sporter with a Tapco 6 position stock! It just looks so mean! But then they flagged the .45 and I knew that something was up.

Is that the vegas version?

I see guns on the reno version all the time...even saw a few in commiefornia.

If you're a northie and have an ak in 223, I'm interested too!

A friend of mine bought a pistol off of there recently. He did seem to think it was a non-gun friendly place to be. Considering the toilet Las Vegas has become, is that really such a bad thing ? Don't we all know someone we can trust ,to sell such an item to ? If not , they prolly know someone.

Guns aren't supposed to be listed on CL according to their rules.  People post them and it takes a few minutes to hours before CL finds out and people "flag" the posts so that CL can find out and remove them.

In that gap of time, you'll see guns posted, and can contact the sellers.  I bought one handgun that way!

I believe that the owner guy is based out of San Fran.  No surprise

I actually got four hits on the adds, but everyone wanted to trade or parcial trade before they pulled the it.

I've bought a rifle off of craigslist, but it is against their ToS.

There are people that all they do is go around flagging items so they get pulled. Oh well.

They even pulled my "WTT XD40 mags" listing twice, but I did receive a call on the second one and will be doing the trade this Saturday.

It all depends on how you write up the ad listing.  I've seen some guns on there go for several days before being pulled.  You gotta use "crypto" wording, ha...
