I'm surprised there are as many people doing Armslist transactions as there are. The potential danger is there, but maybe not anymore than buying a pair of sneakers or cell phone off of Craigslist. Maybe there was a time when you could do it and not have to worry about it. But, times change. There are so many other ways to acquire/purchase a gun. Consider yourself lucky if you have not a victim of a scam/crime?
Criminals spend all day thinking about how to commit crimes and how they are going try to get away with it, that is their job. It's always the law-abiding citizens and law enforcement trying to play catch up. Law enforcement many times consult with criminals to determine how they think and the techniques they use to commit crimes. It's unbelievable how many things criminals can do with numbers and names.
I only buy firearms through a LGS FFL or online FFL. I always have done it this way and always will. I'm not the gambler that some of you guys are. I don't need to take any more risks than I need to. But, if you are comfortable with doing those type of Armslist transactions, then you take your chances. My advice, don't push your luck.
