I bought three from a friend who was moving away. We filled out all the info in a Dunkin Donuts. You should have seen the look on the cashiers face when the money changed hands.

Okay, I'll give you 20'.
The ZHA parking lot was a little weird too, since it's basically the middle of an industrial park. There's something very....gangsta....about selling a gun in an industrial park
very timely thread, as I am planning to do my first FTF purchase from another member in the next couple of weeks. Good reading about how things go down so I know what to expect. Should I bring the FA10 forms, or is that the sellers thing?
My first two buying FTF's were dealing with Fred. The 2nd deal was for a pre-ban rifle. Fred brought two of the same and asked me to pick the one I liked. Then he offered me a discount if I took both. I took the offer and Fred asked me to mail him a check for the balance.
If you ever had the pleasure to deal with him... A complete classic gentleman.

Thanks for being the word of common sense in this sea of confusion.
There is a pic somewhere on here of a person not wearing eye protection with their finger on the trigger,you should comment.

Sometimes I think the classifieds should only be available to green members.
I believe that's how it is now but a lot of people joined just to get in on the gun raffles.
The strangest (to me) was meeting someone at their place of employment.....a police department. It just weirded me out at first,
The one transaction that sticks out was a NES'r from not too far from me came 50 yards over the MA/NH line to sell me 9mm ammo IIRC, back when ammo was made out of unobtanium after the last presidential election. The distance of 50 yards was the difference between being a citizen freely exercising his second amendment rights and committing a (felony?) crime.
There is one story involving a FTF transaction between two NES'ers that occured a few years ago that resulted in an unfortunate event. No laws were broken, and everything turned out OK. But damn, that was a wee bit scary.
I just have to ask: what shops? Do you do the exchange, examination, function test in the shop, too?
I brought my wife and daughter to McDonalds in Seabrook to sell a rifle and for them to see how uneventful the process could be. While the buyer was inspecting the rifle a cruiser slowly drives past but doesn’t stop. I’m sure he knew what was going on as the rifle was being held when I noticed him coming around the corner. He kept on driving and we completed the deal. When I got back into the car my daughter was almost crying thinking we were all going to jail. I told her to relax, this is NH and everything we did was perfectly legal.
