    FTF sales during Covid?

    How are you guys handling FTF sales during this time of social distancing and general paranoia about each other's health? Are you taking extra precautions? Or just carrying on as usual? i would normally just hop in the other guys car or them in mine, examine the gun, sign the papers, get the money and go. Now being of the 'most susceptible age range' and all, I'm wondering if there is a way to do a transaction and still stay safe.

    Throw on a mask and gloves and do it outside the car. If necessary you can use an r bag in place of gloves. I saw a YouTube video of how to make a mask with a cpl napkins and 4 rubber bands.

    Necessity is the mother of invention.
    If you are better off than you were 4 years ago....................you are probably an ILLEGAL INVADER.

    Why not just don't sell anything for a few weeks?

    Mask, gloves, gown... or just don't for a couple weeks. I haven't been to a store in a week and am exploring zero contact pickup options.

    I’m doing just that. Even though I am in the middle of liquidating my collection, I hit pause for a couple weeks.

    Guys don't sweat this so much. I see a hundred people per week in Oakland county and I'm doing quite well.

    Seeing one person ftf won't KILL you. At least, the virus won't.

    I did a FTF last Fri. Stayed outside, told the other guy to just stay in his vehicle. Minimal contact & it went real good. Had the RI-060 all filled out, just needed his SIG.

    Think it was the first deal I ever made without a handshake.
