am I merely being prudent?
At this weekend's gunshow here in town, I was carrying around a Ruger GP100 that I had just bought while I was waiting for a friend to complete the paperwork on his purchase.
This scruffy looking guy with bad breath and dirty K-Mart camo comes up to me and asks "Whatcha selling? How much you want for it?"
Alarm bells immediately go off in my mind as the gun is in a case and you can't tell what it is (other than a Ruger handgun) from the outside. I certainly wouldn't offer to purchase an unknown handgun from a total stranger.
With visions of an ATF or ISP sting in my head, I immediately reply 'It's not for sale' and walk away as fast as I could.
My buddy thinks that I'm paranoid. Perhaps, but better safe than sorry.
