ATF answering ads? I am getting that feeling they are still as of March & April 2025. I posted a simple glock for sale about 6 weeks ago.
Well get some activity, that turns to be naught. Not just here have it listed on arms list also.

I’ll meet you now, I’m interested/very interested-but when I ask which FFL in the area they want to go to- communication ends.
And guess what I get another communication that goes the same way.boom boom boom. That is four or five straight now when
I add some questions or comments like person to person is now thru an FFL.They say ok, but never get back to me either with ship to FFL or meet at an FFL.

Maybe some people getting cold feet but my instincts say it is not and target campaign like Randy Weaver...maybe they have not stopped trolling/fishing.
Be weary out there just in case! If I'm parnoid let me know. I could say a joke about how buyers scatter, but will stay politically correct for thos of the wrong party.

Stay alert.

ATF doesn't enforce state law, they enforce federal law, doubt they care about UBC, but they do hunt straw purchaser's.

This site is monitored and recorded 24/7 , believe that!

Flipping for profit is engaging as a non licensed dealer, plenty table flippers still at the shows, just a matter of time, before they get that cease and desist interview and letter, Richard Wince off here was caught and told to stop, but he must of thought he was smarter, hard to believe getting a warning and not having the sense to quit!

Right now, the ATF is barred from enforcing any decisions they made under the last administration until AG Pam Bondi and company go through all of them: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/protecting-second-amendment-rights/

The "engaged in the business of" final rule definition was rewritten on Apr 10, 2024. https://www.atf.gov/firearms/final-rule-definition-engaged-business-dealer-firearms

The ATF page even has a caveat admitting they are complying with the enforcement bar order, at least pending the Texas V ATF court case decision.



There are task forces that are partnerships between Local LEO offices and Regional ATF offices that work together. So it could be a Local LEO who's a TFO, and they'd be interested in State Law violations.


But I've also had a couple people PM me about meeting up for an upper or accessory i'm selling, and then inquiring what firearms I have for sale and wanting to meet up. One was in PA and one was in VA. I am always transparent that i'm in WV, But I'm right near Winchester, and firearms go thru an FFL, especially because I can't purchase a handgun in VA, unless we meet at the FFL and that FFL ships it to my WV FFL, which makes my presence pointless.

I dont think they were Feds, I think they were just trying to fly under the radar. But I'm not willing to risk my butt virginity to find out.

The WV area has no good VAGT equivalent, which is why i'm still on here.

Nice

I have had people messAge me and ask if I still have the stuff I am selling and I say says and then they ask cash and carry or gun shop and I message back gun shop then never hear anything else from them

Last gun show I was at (Chantilly), had a fella ask me to sell him a gun without an FFL. Told him no, against state law. He approached me later to see if I could buy him a gun from a booth. I told him no, and reported him to the sheriff standing 20 ft away.

Shifty guy, I was mostly upset with him only offering me $100 to do it.
