Re: buying a used firearm
Just be careful!! Armslist is like Craigslist only worse. There have been two instances in Stillwater where people have sold guns and been paid with counterfeit money. The guys were out the gun and money. Take a friend. At a minimum write down the tag number of the person's car they are driving. Go to Wally World or Staples and get one of those counterfeit detecting pens. Look at each bill to make sure it hasn't been "washed*" or "sprayed**"
*washed- Bad guy takes a real $1 bill, washes off the ink and reprints it as a $20 or $100. This bill will pass the pen test because they are using real currency!!!
**sprayed- Bad guy prints money on plain paper, then sprays the bill with hairspray or scotch guard. This bill will also pass the pen test!!!
