A guy by the name name of "Tommy" called called me and was interested in a sig I had for sale. He had very strange questions like "is the gun registered to me" could I buy ammo for him before we meet up. Was going to meet him in stafford, after telling him i would come and told him i needed to see a va ID and voter registration card or concealed carry permit and do a bill of sale for my records he asked if I would ship it to him. Very strange considering I offered to drive it to him and he is only 45 minutes away. I told him sure because he offered to pay, I also informed him I would need to ship it to an FFL, no response. This guy appeared to be trying to advantage of this website. Everyone please beware of this guy his phone number was 813-638-5801.

I would say this makes a good reason to not include your phone number or email in your post. That would force an interested party to contact you by pm through this site, then we would know who the member was... or if he even is a member. Keep in mind that posts can be viewed without logging in.
Sounds like you did the right thing and definitely thanks for the heads up.

I just assumed he was new at this as I was once and didn't known proper procedure. Yes I will no longer be posting my phone number or email, just PM messages so I can check their profile for feedback.
Thanks for the feedback guys

I hope he doesn't have a profile on this site, also a question I asked him that he avoided. My fault for seeing so many red flags and not shutting him down sooner. It was almost comical to see what he would ask/request next. I have had similiar encounters on armslist but never on this site. I hope he learned his lesson about trying to purchase guns illegally off our site.

Possibly but I would think a news crew would have gone through with the meet.

OMG , dont let the CCW only sellers know that they could have actually sold to a reformed felon here on this site. Some of them are anal to the point of insanity. LOL. They will want DNA from you next for a deal.. Thanks for the info lizjimbo . I didn't know there was a difference in the two.

No I never met with him. I am all for second chances, everyone makes mistakes. I believe everyone, felon or not, should be able to protect themselves and their family with a firearm but this guy was trying to purchase a gun without showing any ID. He wanted me to mail it to him after I offered to drive it to him if he would show me IDs, and do a bill of sale for my records only. Very sketchy guy all around from start to finish.
