Rude people and ignorance of the laws

Right, I was just looing for specifics on the classes you sent her to.

She showed me certificates from a place in bloomington for a basic handgun course and a concealed carry course. I am currently holding on to her gun until her license comes in which hopefully will be in soon, until then she gets mace.

This right here ^^
I've only ever had great experiences on Ingo with trades and purchases. I no longer waste my time with Armslist, especially since you have to pay to be a member now. If I can't find what I want on Ingo, then I usually just wait, or buy new.

I used to use armslist in florida and never had an issue but apparently indiana is a different ball game. I did sell a old 357 mag taurus on armslist and bought a 1911 on armslist last weekend with no issues here but there is always that one a-hole that makes it so you dont want to use a site anymore

I totally get that.
I just feel like the merchandise is a lot more sensitive and high risk to keep going back. Even just one or two d-bags out of hundreds can really turn people off when the merchandise is worth hundreds or thousands of dollars, or someone could use it for nefarious reasons. I've never personally had issues with Armslist sales, but I've heard wayyyy too many stories to justify going back. Just not worth it to me.

Again, if it's no trouble, details would be great.

I am in the area and have folks to send to local classes, after researching the instruction. TIA!

I had a young punk working the ZX booth at the 1500 years ago tell me I was trying to make a straw purchase and that he couldnt sell to me cause I had told him I was looking to buy it for my wife. I just shook my head and walked away. He cost them a sale that day.

Ignorance of the law is widespread.

I've said for a while now, "People 'think' they know...but they don't really know!"
Many people 'think' they know what the law is, but they've never read it, much less understand it.
Much of what some people think the law says or means, is really just their opinion of what they wish the law says or means.
I'm a big advocate of read the law, mull it over, and ask for assistance if you don't understand it.
Legalese is a language that not all speak...sometimes, interpretation for proper application is warranted.

True dat with Indiana Code. You have to read A LOT of it, get more confused, then eventually...

Rude and ignorant person?

Wonder what his INGO name is.

Really not worth the time and effort trying to deal with someone that is so mentally incapacitated.

I had the owner of a local gun shop tell me he couldn't accept a transfer from a non-FFL holder. If he'd told me he wouldn't accept a transfer from a non-FFL holder or wouldn't do a transfer, I could respect that even though it would greatly reduce the amount business I did there. Since he either flat out lied to me or was completely ignorant, I haven't even looked at a gun there since.

Name them! We shop in the same circles...

Also note that his "can't" may very well just have been store policy. Some shops won't do it.

My Taurus Model 44 6.5" is probably worth $350-400 but I'm not going to sell my first handgun. It's been reliable for over 2k rds. I did have a trigger job done on it to lighten the double action trigger pull. It was horrible. Now it is smooth and you can pull the trigger slow and smoothly back until it fires without pulling off target.


The porting is eating away at the front sight. Need to get a new one it's getting hard to see. And steel wool isn't brightening it any more.

It was the store owner so if it was store policy it was his policy and like I said if he'd owned that instead of feeding me a line of bull, he'd lost some business instead of all my firearms business. It's possible he was simply ignorant since firearms are not really the main focus of the business. Either way, there are two much better shops on my way home, depending on the route, that actively welcome and encourage transfers. It was convenient for awhile having a place to do transfers almost within walking distance of my house, though.

I'm not comfortable naming them outright since it has been 3-4 years and things may have changed since then. If you know we shop in the same circles, then you likely know where in Johnson Co. I live and you should be able to figure out the hints.

Let the language filter work. If you type out a word that isn't allowed, the filter will **** it out.

But pictures are on you. I've deleted one pic as there were words that wouldn't pass the filter. You are responsible for making sure pic will pass the rules too.

Be more like BigRed?!?!

Not naming them outright is just you being honorable and showing respect, the guy that got this post started may have been an a**hole but i still blurred out his name and email out of respect.

In my opinion, you should only give the info that gets the deal done..ie offer with reasoning. Every thing else you add just extends the interaction and possibly makes them think this is the one your heart desires. Then the price becomes firm. Generally speaking, from my experience, you have to wear down people over months for them to budge or you'll get lucky and someone will have already worn them down. In which they cave immediately. If there's an argument out of the gate with your offer(if it's reasonable) your dealing with the former.

I managed my fathers old 20000 sqft biker bar in florida for 5.5 years and have become very good at dealing with ignorance and stupidity
