Huskergun:
You are a Big Boy.
So Surely You Can Figger That Just Maybe You've Encountered Some Kind of Bad Boy.
Coupla Things Here for Consideration:
1) Goody that a firearm traceable to you isn't now in Some Bad Boy's possession, after all.
2) Might be a Good Idea NOT to spend that $1000 in case he shows up some night at your door short of cash. Even though at one time he seemed to have Money to Burn. Circumstances change. And He may just not recognize his own signature on the quit claim note.
3) During These Recession Days, Just What Kind of Folks have Money to Waste?? Just What Kind of Businesses Might They be In?? Probably not anything requiring a Federal Background Check.
4) Finally, There's No Such Thing as a Free Lunch. Possible Corollary is That There's No Such Thing as a Free AR. Either.
One Final Thought: Might be a good idea to keep 18 rounds in that AR's magazine, selector on Rock and Roll, and Sleep With It. Even though you've never called it a "Gun" and always cleaned it Bright and Shiny.
