Private gun sale gone bad in Lafayette

[Six Forty-Two]

A private sale of a rifle and handgun ended up in the assault of the seller. Guns were taken and have not been recovered. The area is known around town to be one of the worst apartment complexes as far as criminal activity. Why someone would go there alone to sell guns make no sense to me.

Wonder if the seller has closed his INGO ad.

Really have to be careful. I've thought about where I meet people for transactions. Probably won't go to bad apartment buildings

Busy public areas are best.

But, they did just put new appliances in at Claystone, so it is getting better.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to DRob again.

Five guys show up to a gun deal and I am out of there.....

New appliances isn't going to change anything, unless you mean that now they have nicer equipment to cook meth on...

I would not have been in that apt complex to begin with.

No doubt, I'd be gone too.

Since the victim was treated at the hospital and released obviously the docs forgot the mental evaluation.

Extremely bad judgment day for the victim. As noted previously, bad rep complex and 5 guys waiting...definitely a jump over the cliff moment. DON'T DO IT! Just drive away. Of course exercising that kind of discretion would have had you meet up someplace a bit more conspicuous...like the parking lot of the police department.

Street smarts are usually learned the hard way. Sorry for the victim.

Working in Lebanon today.

Only time I go to Claystone is to verify the police photos that I was provided in the discovery . . . in the bright shining sun.

We can't have nice things.

I drive past there frequently, but I sure as hell don't linger in that area.

If the seller wasn't retarded or unfamiliar with Lafayette, perhaps he was there to trade for something other than cash?
