marktwain, I hope you are well. Thank you for posting this.
Being in one of my entrepreneurial moods at this time, I’d like to bounce an idea off of you (and other FReepers). Is there any restriction that you know about that restricts a private party from organizing, sponsoring, conducting a “buy back?” Of course I mean from the transfers that may require an FFL.
I’m thinking I see a business opportunity. Perhaps even a quarterly FReepathon fund raiser.
Thoughts?

P.S. Next time I’m in Sun City, would we be able to meet?

I have thought about this as well. Done right, it could work. The “problem” is that most of these turn in event are “fueled” by free advertising from the media, which a strictly private event might not get, and free “gravitas” and “credibility” from the presence of police officers. Usually their time is “donated” as well.
I still think it could work in a mostly gun friendly community with the cooperation of the police and the local media.
It is the opportunity costs which have prevented me from trying it.
