Looking at a Ruger purchase, found a good price on this website but never heard of it, and they dont take credit cards which is odd. Anyone purchased from them?

My policy is, no credit card, no sale. Lots of Russians faking sites and putting "bargains" on them. Run, don't walk.

Online business that doesn't take CC? Yeah, I would steer clear. Especially the one I've never heard of. Even more especially one with good prices. Red flags everywhere. These days, there are so many more scammers popping up online with such websites.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Thanks for confirming. It didn't seem right

Sounds legit to me.

I don’t claim to know every vendor out there but I’ve done my share of “shopping” and not only have I never heard of them, like was said no CC…um yeah…NO.

For what it’s worth there are some phenomenal vendors out there who might charge a little more but they are awesome I tend to stick with them if possible.

Ask any potential new/unknown vendors for a file copy of their FFL and cross reference it with ATF. No FFL = No good.

Lots of fraudulent online gun stores popping up these days. Here are a few more to steer clear of:

https://www.raniersec.com/

I got lucky. Tried to buy something from Ranier but they never returned my calls or e-mails. Dodged that bullet.

Rainier Security is definitely out:

Has anyone turned all these names into the ATF and demanded they do their jobs?

If there aren't guns actually being transferred, why would the ATF do anything?

For that Raniersec Company it would be best to contact Alaska office of Commerce (or whatever they call it) and see if it's a real registered company.

If not there isn't much to do, other than contact the AK AG and give them the web page showing the address, no business license etc and they could attempt to close it down on the web.

If it's hosted out of Assfartistan well not much anyone can do.

Q, my thought was that if you offer a retail sale of a firearm whether local or across state lines without an FFL Dealers license then you would be violating a law. I clearly understand your point but was looking at it from a different viewpoint.

Call the Bunco Squad because the BATFE ain't gonna do squat.

The correct agency to call is the FBI for the interstate commerce and fraud.

I wonder if they take bitcoin?

Apparently that doesn't work as well as it used to for money laundering. FBI got half the bitcoin ransom back from the Colonial Pipeline fiasco.
