This is a great quote, actually.
100% this.
Once you've done a bunch of buying and selling here, you do start to get a sense of what kind of FTF seller you don't enjoy dealing with. One of my least favorites is what I call the "junior FFL," who is so overcautious that it just becomes a headache. They seem like the kind of people who pull into the left lane and obstinately drive the actual speed limit "because that's the Law."
Even in MA, a gun transaction between a knowledgeable buyer and seller who've done some EFA10s before? Doesn't need to take more than five minutes, literally. A "junior FFL" usually takes more like half an hour. No thanks.
I feel like Reptile (with whom I've happily done deals in the past, and from whom I've gotten no weird vibes while doing so) is starting to ask the kinds of questions that a "junior FFL" would ask. I suspect this new law is creating more Nervous Nellies than even I was afraid of. Bummer.
