There are opportunities here to find both buyers and sellers of firearms. There are also opportunities to get scammed. We recommend the following:
1. Do not deal with someone who is wiling to break federal law by shipping to anyone but an FFL. You can't trust a cheater.
2. If you spending more for a gun than you are willing to throw away, research and choose a reputable escrow company to hold the funds until you receive and are satisfied with your purchase.
Racist remarks and "jokes" are not in the spirit of honoring our veterans and will not be permitted.
I was stationed at Ft. Bragg, NC circa 1966. I lived off post just outside of Spring Lake. I liked being there as it was a neat area and fun. I was with the 8th T.A.B 25th artillary in the 18th airborne. Many memories of that area.
