Set up at the Buchanan Dam gun show and sold two guns to a Colonel in full uniform with his wife and 8-10 year old boy who stopped at my table, looked and then checked the rest of the show. He came back and asked some questons about a Sig and a Ruger and for me to make him a deal. He talked to his wife and she said if he wanted them to buy them. She wrote a check and he signed it and I had him put the serial numbers on the check. We talked a few more minutes and than they left. Two weeks later we got a copy of the check back saying the account was closed. Reported same to Llano Sherff dept but they felt I was screwed as I didn't get a driver license #. Even then it would be slim.I guess what put me off guard was after 22 yrs active duty you tend to get brained washed when talking to a higher up and tend to trust them. I can't get over the fact he even had his kid with him. Sure sold me. I don't know if it was the same Colonel or not but one bought $2000.00 worth of tools at Sears on a credit card, two weeks before me. You guessed it bad card. It's hell when you can't trust a man in uniform any more.
CASH FROM NOW ON.

So can't these guns be reported stolen as theft by check?

Probably a good idea to have that post by Dinki Dow moved so a not to take this thread off track any more that it has been.

Kinda surprises me that he makes no mention of contacting the BATF - it IS a felony to write a hot check for a gun.....IF that's what happened (yeah, my BS meter is kinda twitchin').

Easy, there's no need to go on a witch hunt everytime someone new posts here.

Good point, Alan - but given his proclavity for returning to the "scene of the crime" as it were, a reasonable one....

Sorry about that. Didn't know I was stepping on someones toes. I was reading about stolen guns and thought I was on that thread.
