Aside from the firearm research on the item itself, for safety and legality purposes, what steps do YOU always take before even contacting someone who posts a gun classified ad?
Those of us who have done this forever always employ a few common sense considerations before even contacting someone with an item we might be interested in, regardless of whether they are a member or not. These might apply to anywhere else ads are posted as well.
This is one good part about a social media style site. Instead of just an obfuscated email from sites like Craigslist, at social media marketplace sites like this, you can check the directory and profile your buyers or seller first before even contacting them. You could even go so far before even contacting them to run a free Montana background check using the CONWEB if you wanted to and then just verify it’s them before transacting.

A made in Montana website developer building independent online tools to help us promote, protect and exercise our firearms freedom. I am a 20 year veteran operator and trainer in the emergency roadside service industry. Starting with a childhood and teen years spent in school and family construction in Miles City, MT. Then beyond to Reno, Las Vegas and Northern California after politicians ruined the economy in the late 70's. After having a child my amazing wife and I moved from Tracy, California home to raise him in the last best place. My health since has now restricted me from working outside of my home and here we are today providing a different public service because there is nothing more satisfying. VOTE to help keep Montana pro-gun and I'll keep building and maintaining tools for us to exercise our RTKBA locally online. Feature ads or donate to help keep the lights on and keep me motivated.
