You are orrect that a dealer doesn't have to sell if it doesn't feel right according to the ATF. Then the ACLU and civil rights groups get involved.

Very true, there are two sides for sure!

Or better yet, as I previously said, if you don't know the person, just don't participate in the transaction. I don't care how awesome the firearm is, if you don't know them and they seem suspicious, it simply isn't worth the trouble.

I agree with tattedupboy...buying from someone you dont know can get you in heaps of trouble
