For the same price as the Glock, you can get a brand new Sig 226 or 229. And plenty of preban mags at less than 1/2 the price of Glock mags...

It might require a few minutes in the classifieds or contacting a few people. Who's got time for that?

I was just checking on armslist, which is usually expensive, and there are many Glocks between 500-600. Even saw a brand new gen5 Glock 19.

I was thinking about getting a new Glock 40 and 29 to go with my very old but much loved 20... A first a saw Glocks on the EOPs list and thought I could just order one... then I learn about the AG saying that they are unsafe, even through most Police departments in the US use them... MA sucks!
I still remember giving a few people tips around here about how to get a cheap G36 for example and I was mostly met with a bunch of laziness and excuses. One guy didn't want to drive out to western Mass I couldn't believe it... to save over 200 bucks. If people spent as much time looking and networking as they do whining they'd be able to get whatever they wanted, at a reasonable price. Schoolyard grade negotiation skills help, too. I suck at it and I once got a guy selling a gun for $1200 down to $900, because I was polite and rolled out the red carpet for the guy. Protip: armflapping/etc doesn't make the price go down.

Congrats on the win...pp or not, build that thing and put it to good use. You are right, that was an incredibly generous karma....karma hall of fame worthy.

I like Sigs, but nothing says skinflint like buying a different gun than you want, even though the price is the same, because it’s better “value”.

This thread gives me a business idea. I’m sitting here in PA with a safe full of Glocks I hardly use, some are probably unfired. I drive them to my daughter in Boston and open up a Glock Shop and do FTF transfers on her LTC.
People who bought too much pre-lockdown and now in need of cash?

I will not name any names of people who sent me PMs saying let’s do this. I love my dog and my freedom, I was just having some fun folks.
I have learned that magical things happen when one posts in the W.T.B section

Is the transfer limit mentioned anywhere? Trap or not, I’d like to see this in writing. I have always thought it was 5 per calendar year, at least that’s what I have heard.
It's 4/yr (calendar year) under MGL, go look it up, this is old hat, MA gun law 101 stuff, we're not going to do your work for you. MGL says "over 4 per year makes one a handgun purveyor, which requires a license under S122 (dealers license) not those exact words but those are the mechanics.
-Mike
I didn't bother going as far as the MGL because it's on page 34 of this PDF from CJIS.
I would not use that guide as a legal reference for anything, it has lots of nostrums in it that are not currently supported by actual law. Even that
section the 4/yr reference is in, has some fallacious shit in it.
"However, the reporting provisions apply to all transactions, whether or not the transfer is to a dealer or to a private party. Consequently, a transaction record must be filed anytime a weapon is transferred. "
Like if you examine S128A/B it's not abundantly clear to me that this is true. CJIS just wants it to be true because it makes life easier for
them. For example, as a matter of course, most dealers in MA don't fill out EFA10s when intaking guns, nor do any of them ask their customers to
do the same when selling them guns. There are a few dealers that use the CJIS drivel as guidance for their customers but don't force them to do
anything.

MGL 140 128A
It suspends MGL 140 128 as long as you sell 4 or less. Otherwise MGL 140 128 comes into play with the following language "any person who, without being licensed as hereinbefore provided, sells, rents or leases a firearm, rifle, shotgun or machine gun, or is engaged in business as a gunsmith, shall be punished by a fine of not less than $1,000 nor more than $10,000, or by imprisonment for not less than one year nor more than ten years, or by both such fine and imprisonment."
The license in question being dealer license under section 122. So you can sell up to 4 per 128A if you are LTC/FID. If over 4 then punishable by $1000-$10000 or 1-10 years or both. That 5th sale could make you a prohibited person.
I see this thread as more people laughing their balls off at the people paying the price on a glock than the people selling them at high prices. Because GLOCKS ARE NOT UNOBTANIUM IN MA! they are sold perfectly legally for normal prices every day. The price increase for private sale used Glocks is high because buyers are ignorant and sellers know it. Not the sellers fault though.
But hey..... NES absolutely needed another lesson on a free market complete with hypothetical examples......cuz it's been at least 2 whole days since someone posted one. Thanks.
