So I'd like to get the NES opinion on this. I have a handgun for sale both here and on Armslist. I received an email yesterday from someone in MA who is wanting to buy it, but will not have his license for another month as he just turned 21. I told him I would hold the gun for him only if he paid a 50% non-refundable payment up front. So I didn't hear back from him for the rest of the day. I figured that was going to happen.
Fast forward to today and I get another email from a different guy in MA stating he will buy the handgun from me. I'm thinking great. Then I notice the email address. The guy's email is his first and last name. Them same as the guy from yesterday. They both have the same last name. Different first names but same last name. This has me thinking it's a father or a brother to the guy that wants my gun. To me I'm thinking Straw Purchase. Is that what everyone else thinks as well? To similar and to close to be a coincidence.
What is my legal requirement here? Technically it's a guy saying he's buying a gun. Quandry....
