Tulsa Police offer substation parking lots as safe meeting location

I wonder how they would feel about firearms related transactions.

Thats a great thing. Thanks TPD. Really shows that someone there cares.

Private firearms sales shouldn't be a problem in the parking lot.

There have been a lot of robberies and assaults with craigslist type transactions. A disproportionate number have been women. Wives and daughters, be safe!

I have met people many times at Tulsa's East side police station parking lot buying and selling stuff from guitars to guns, etc.

I was sitting at the QT closest to me on hwy 51 and 81st St east BA waiting on a guy to come and look at an amp I was selling and I observed an off duty but still in uniform Tulsa police officer selling a gun in its box to a guy over to the side by the car wash. I watched them do as I do and drop their tailgate and open the box. I do alot of meets there myself from Craigslist to people from here and it just didnt seem odd or out of place to me.

Not a bad idea to do so.

Awhile back I broke a guys arm at a meet to sell, I believe he was bent on robbery. Some stupid people out there that think they are going to meet up to buy a gun and have the thought of stealing. As I got back in my truck he made the mistake of reaching through my drivers window that was down. There were two of them and they had the opportunity to get my tag number. Never heard a thing.

So I would suggest meeting at a very public place, even if your there to buy or sell something. Or at least have someone else go with you, that will watch your back.

And you said you didn't have mall ninja skills....

I believe Oklahoma County Sheriffs have offered the same thing.

Looks like Broken Arrow PD has made the same offer to use their parking lot at 1101 N. Sixth St.

Man, don't ever tell my wife that, I'll never be able to trade again... I agree such stupidity.... You are selling a gun, does he think you are selling your only one? Man I would hate to be in that situation. Good for you in getting out of there. He is lucky that you didn't use deadly force which could have been justified.
