Why are folks Killeen afraid to trade guns and rifles?

[Traderwun]

I just moved to Killeen from the Midwest. Living in the Midwest I would trade rifles and pistols nearly every other week. Sometimes for mechanic special cars and most times for other weapons. It’s like pulling teeth here in Killeen.

Welcome to the forum. Your answer is in the first sentence of your introduction. And you may have a funny accent.

Willkommen from the big town. Being a stranger might put some folks off. Take your time and acceptance will come. Unless you are a giant ashhole

Easier to keep it than regret getting rid of it.

You may want to try Texas Gun Trader. Watch out for the scams, though.

If he’s going the Texas gun trader route I can save him some time. I got a dog, 1 shoe lace and a pack of gum. What you got?

Welcome!

So tell us what happened- what'd they say? Were you getting or giving ?

 

[TreyG-20]

I guess you haven't been in Killeen long enough to figure out why nobody wants to give up their guns. If you meet someone who does you may want to throw them in a lake.

There is also a lot of confusion about the new ATF rule defining who is in the firearms business and requires an FFL. I won't get into it here--just read this: https://www.texasguntalk.com/thread...-requires-ffl-rumored-for-fall.120276/page-29

Put simply, law abiding folks may not understand the rule well enough to feel comfortable selling or trading a firearms. Or, they may fully understand the implications of the law and realize that the ATF can now declare anyone who trades or even advertises (not even sells) a firearm is a dealer and prosecute them if they do not have an FFL. One bit of good news for all: Texas residents are exempt from ATF enforcement of the rule through 16 June.

Were you wearing an ATF hat?

 

[Lonesome Dove]

You must be dealing with other transplants cuz no Texan is gonna turn down a gun.

 

[Whalercohasset]

Really depends on what you have. Gun interests can be regional.

Not at all, but that shouldn’t scare away anyone

Hello and welcome. Get acquainted with some of these TGT members. After you build some trust and find some mutual interests, you may be surprised how easy it can be to swap or buy.
