I would like some advice on how to proceed with this. I traded a handgun to someone out of state back in May. I sent the pistol overnight to his FFL. We also agreed on a sale (Me buying another pistol he had listed for sale in one of the forums). I sent him a postal money order for the second pistol.
He didn't send the pistols to my FFL by the end of June, and I moved out of state. I finally got settled in my new state (illinois), found a FFL and filled out my FOID application. Contacted the person with my new FFL information and still no pistols. He has stated he can't afford to ship them right now since he is out of work and I have offered to pay for shipping. Still no pistols, no communication from him.
How should I proceed? He has had my pistol and my cash since May, and I can't get him to move on this. He's in Texas, BTW. Should I contact his local sheriff office (no PD in his small town), call the postal office about using a postal MO and not receiving goods, contact the BATF, etc?
Thanks
