Best way to not get shot while making large cash transaction
Posted on 5/19/15 at 7:12 pm
Posted on 5/19/15 at 7:12 pm
Looking at buying an off road vehicle. I was planning on paying in cash, seller requested cash as well. Nervous me now thinks I'm going to get killed or worse. I know the obvious ob answer will probably be nothing less than open carry. That's all fine and good but I want to mitigate as much risk as possible.
I'm thinking about bringing a cashiers check for close to the amount and several hundred to reach our final agreed upon price. Test drive and what not then if we strike a deal, go to a local bank or check cashing place, cash it myself, then hand it over.
Any better ideas?
Thank you my ob brethren.

Meet in the closest police station parking lot.
I tell this to anyone that risks buying or selling items through Craigslist.

why not do it at the title transfer office when he signs it over to you?

Have any friends that are cops in the area you are looking to purchase? If so have him meet you there.
I'd be sketchy about anyone asking for cash opposed to a cashiers check.

you won't get killed...but you might get ripped off...
my suggestion would be that you go to wherever the vehicle is to try it out..
if you like it and agree to purchase, he follows you to your bank where you withdraw the cash and hand it to him...you will need a notary anyway for any paperwork and your bank will have one...

I sold my truck on Craigslist and we met in a public place and I had my pistol in my jacket pocket.

Have him follow you to the bank to make a withdrawal

I would be more worried buying a watch or something paying cash. An off road vehicle, not so much. People selling OB approved equipment, in my mind, are not likely to rip you off. Personally, I'd have my gun in my truck and if the guy didn't look right before I got out of the truck, I would just take off.

Just don't go inside his house. Stay in the driveway so you don't end up in his basement applying gratuitous amounts of lotion to your skin.
And carry a gun

Make sure you poop before you go.

Jesus, wtf is wrong with you people. There is a lot of freaking out about nothing. This isn't a fricking walker Texas ranger episode you rednecks. You're not going to get held up over some beat up 4x4

I was in a similar situation as you recently and just cc'd with one in the chamber and felt 100% safe.
