Buyer gets robbed in Ooltewah


Recommended Posts

I have gone a few times to purchase a firearm in a public place alone but it was always a TGO member in good standings. If I was meeting someone not a TGO member I never went alone but had an armed friend with me to watch everything going on.

Thankfully I have always been lucky  and even ended up making good friends from buys over the years...But 98% of my buys are from fellow TGO members.

All my private firearm sales and buys are with TGOers with a lot of posts or with good iTrader feedback from members I know or who also have a lot of posts. Anything else like Craigslist gets done at the local police station, and then only after an actual telephone call. You can get a pretty good feel for most folks by a phone call. That's something you don't get with chat and email.

Something is wrong with that story. You don’t set-up a meet with someone that is probably armed so you can take their car. You take it from some poor sap on the street.

After reading the news release it almost sounds like it was a deal made between them for the guy to take his car so he could collect the insurance money on it or get ou of paying for it with insurance paying it off for him. I have heard of that happening a few times but they always got caught in insurance fraud sooner or later............jmho
