I am in Georgia and very close to the state line of Tennessee in the Chattanooga area. My work site is literally 3 miles from the state line.
I was a part of a conversation at work with three other buddies.
Buddy one is a Georgia resident soon to be moving to Alaska. He has been torn between purchasing a .44 mag lever rifle and a .44 mag revolver. He will be moving to bear country on Kodiak Island and will need to carry something. Today out of the blue he says "I have decided on a revolver, can you help me pick one out?" I says sure I can, and immediately start dreaming of Ruger and Smith shopping.
Buddy two is silent the whole time, just listening.
Buddy three chimes in and says, "I have an acquaintance in Chattanooga who occasionally sells guns if you need to go up and buy one." To which I say, there is a potential problem there as you would have to pay for a FFL transfer and TN has higher sales taxes anyway.
Buddy three then frowns at me and says to buddy one, "dont listen to him thats not a problem. FFL isnt necessary, it happens all the time. Who is going to know?"
I literally had no idea what to say... other than "Yeah you will recognize her acquaintance, he is the one with a tear drop tattoo off the corner of his eye."
My friend has absolutely no experience with firearms. He is a minister for crying out loud and is starting a church in Alaska. I know he will listen to me, but how do I combat this argument that it happens all the time and who is to know?
