I haven't disappeared but have sat back and read some great insight as well as BS on selling to an 18 year old. I've been in sales for 30 years and if a sale doesn't go through, I review what could have been done differently. What I could have done differently is re-worded my initial post. I had never sold to an 18 year old and wanted to know how maybe others went through the check list of what they may do. I knew the law and appreciate those that addressed that. What I got back from grandmasters to plinkers was, he only has "x" number of posts and 19 transactions and whether I was capable of understanding the process, put it back in your safe, will you look back with regret, if you have a doubt then don't do it, he's legal sell it and calling out my overall interaction in the INGO community because of the number of posts and quality of said posts or transactions between myself and others, a plinker opined that I just got enough posts to sell.
My overall view is I do lurk, read and digest plenty, however I am not looking on a daily basis on topics in the the various categories. I do look at the for sale sections or want to buy on the daily but in many cases when I look at the various threads my opinion has been voiced and god forbid if you started a post that has been covered at nauseum (sp?) because someone will say go look it up or this has been covered. There are members that jump on someone that may say clip instead of magazine and to me people do not know the correct terms or weren't paying attention when they typed it and is no reason to smash their head on the curb.
I think that INGO is a great source of information with a great support of our 2nd amendment rights. Their are "know it alls" and then there are "know it alls" that have some great insight and teach/provide valuable information to take in our daily lives while we carry and protect ourselves and families.
I chose not to respond to a lot of what I consider drivel. Just because you don't agree with me doesn't mean I'm wrong on how I conduct myself on INGO. My feedback on sales and purchases is glowing and I am fairly confident some jackass is gonna say, "well that doesn't mean anything". I should have changed my post or just not posted at all. Which after numerous negative comments doesn't really encourage interaction or the willingness to do so. That is what I thought the INGO community was about discussing, directing and giving insight, not curb stomping. Go back and read some of the responses and digest it with the content of the opening post and you will see that some responses were uncalled for.
On a positive note, I met with said 18-yr old and after a brief discussion we made the deal. We both had bill of sales and shared the appropriate information with each other.
I think this post will bump me to 65.
