something smells fishy

[DoyleAlley]

I would respond to him that you are willing to send more pics. However, since he is an out-of-state resident he would have to pay for an FFL transfer. If he's a scammer, that will put him off.

This is the safe answer

There's a poster around here lately giving off ATF vibes.

A fee won't "filter out" the alphabet. They'll gladly pay a few bucks to access the "premium content."

Neither will the display of a DL. The baby burners have all the resources you can imagine.

One has to believe there is an occasional aft fishing expedition on public forums like this.

Know with absolute confidence the alphabet boys are here, whether this FL guy is alphabet fishing or not.

While the AFT says you are not to buy or sell across state lines without an FFL, they do say you are not required to ask for or show ID proving state residency. In this case, he has already said he's out of state. No offense, but one would be a special kind of stupid to sell to this guy without an FFL. Federal penalty is up to 5 years and up to $5k fine plus possible state charges. Worst part tho is the felony on your record. AFT would love to "felonize" ALL the good gun guys.

Unless you're crackhead Hunter Biden.

No offense at all, and I agree. I deleted the email without even considering a response. No way someone is making a 10 hour / 570 mile round trip for a common, budget AR.

I had a new member here, who wanted a pistol I had listed. First bad vibe was the willingness to drive 3.5 hrs for a common, $4-450 pistol. We continued talking/text, learning he recently return to his hometown/family here in Alabama having moved away for a number of years for college, military, work.

I killed the deal after learning he still had an out of state driver’s license.

He was pretty pissed, but not today Mr AFT man.

I’d say after the member here from Bham that was raided, and the similarities with the guy from Little Rock they just killed; Yes, they are hunting us, more so those who fill out a lot of 4473 on a weekly/monthly basis.

Anyone fill out a 4473, then end up getting federal jury notice.......TWICE IN A ROW in two years.
2- 4473s, 2- jury notices.

Don't forget to bone up on jury nullification. If you want off the jury, talk about it as soon as you get to the courthouse. If you want to make a difference, keep it to yourself until deliberations.

Coincidence. Unless you are talking about a Federal jury, jury selection is strictly a local thing. Local officials don't have any access to 4473's.

I completely understand, I do. This reminded me of when I moved here from Colorado. LOL, I didn't change my license over until it was going to expire.

I believe that Alabama law stipulates that out of state driver's license and auto registrations must be transferred within 30 days of moving into the state.

I believe that is correct, yes.

Utterly unenforceable as a person can have residences in more than one State.

Bullying for tax revenues. The hallmark of Bureaucrats gone wild.

You can certainly "own" residences in more than one state. However, only ONE state is considered your "resident" state. There is no definitive test to determine which state that is. Rather it is a collection of facts and circumstances such as driver's license, homestead exemption, voting registration, auto registration, etc.

I had an individual email me this morning concerning an AR I have listed here and Armslist. He claims to live in Panama City, FL and since it would be somewhat of a drive to come pick it up wanted me to send more pics.

It's just a M&P15 with an aftermarket handguard...not anything special or rare. I find it odd that he wants to make a 10 hour round trip to buy something that surely could be found much closer for about the same price. I figure it's either:

- A scam/robbery attempt, or...

- ATF fishing for people selling to out-of-state residents.

I trashed it without rescinding. Anyone else get a similar contact lately?

edit to add:

Just say NO-safest solution
