Welcome to the forum, superstar!

Please explain this buying guns online thing that is underlined above. I'm unaware of it.

Thank you for the warm welcome. Just because someone has an LTC does not guarantee that the pistol they are selling is not stolen. It was just a hypothetical scenario where I imagined myself in if I bought a gun online or from a friend of a friend type of deal. I watched the news about some thefts at gun stores and because Murphy's law seems to be on my side, I want to make sure I don't get caught in that type of scenario.

I think TVGuy's point is that, despite what the mainstream media and the Bloomberg and Soros cronies would have us believe, there's no such thing as buying a firearm anonymously online. There are numerous online sites selling firearms, but the gun is not shipped directly to the purchaser, and the purchaser cannot take possession without physically going to a Federal Firearms Licensee and completing an ATF Form 4473.

Just asking if the seller has an LTC does not guarantee that the weapon is not stolen, if said LTC holder bought it online for a very good price and decided to sell it to make a quick buck, then the buyer if confronted in a situation where he had to use the weapon would be in a place where I'm sure most of us wouldn't want to be in.

I was thinking in asking the seller to meet at a local PD and have the PD run if the weapon is stolen, is that feasible?
