Am I safe making this bet???

-bring it down to $1k.
-let him pick lgs and go with him when he buy his gun & ammo to witness it.
-no input from you, just be there to witness his purchase.

*** with 10 days cooling period, no way he'll be able to bring it home in a week.

I think it would be safer to stop being friends with liberals.

"Hello Calgunners. I'm new here. Some guy just bet me $10,000 that I couldn't get a gun in a week. I'll split the bet with you if you can help me figure out how to get a gun in a week. Can anyone help?"

How are they legally going to acquire the ammunition for a modern gun within a week?

Take a quick trip across the border.

Take a quick trip across the border.

Which border? Would still be an infraction in most cases and not legal.

I take all bets seriously, I hate welchers and people that don't keep their word.

I would like to be able to offer a challenge to my anti-gun friends when they whine about how easy it is to get guns, and how "common sense" dictates tighter controls...

So tell me if I've missed anything in this challenge...SNIP

I read this and was almost speechless, from my previous posts that is really an accomplishment.

Please explain:

"my anti-gun friends"

I can understand friends who don't care about guns, friends who don't want to own guns. I have some difficulty understanding "my anti-gun friends".

Since you asked: I think you missed the whole thing. Just saying.

If you really want to make the bet then at least make it an even bet. They need to lose the same amount you are willing to lose otherwise they will see it as meaningless. If you are willing to give them $10,000 if they win (fix the obvious flaws in the bet) then if they lose they must be willing to give you $10,000 PLUS vote for the remainder of their lives for every gun rights law that removes restrictions on legal gun owners.

Now, tell them that and see if they really are your friends. How on earth though, can you have friends who are willing to take away your constitutional rights? How does that even work?

Good lord I cannot agree more. A friend of mine bet me $500 that Trump would win easily, more lopsided than the Hillary electoral count. I took him up on the bet for fun, I actually thought it was a fair bet and that the election would be pretty close to 2016. He hasn't and said he won't pay me because the election was stolen... I might agree that it was stolen, but that's besides the point and when congress certified that vote the wager was payable. Knew the guy for many years, not sure if I'll ever speak with him again. A bet is a bet.

OP, if what you are looking for is a sure thing and there's no way you can lose the $10K, then it's not really a bet is it? No matter the odds, if there's not at least a small chance of losing then it's a sucker bet at best. Nobody is likely to take you up on it unless they have an angle, so be prepared to deal with that or just do like others have suggested, lower the stakes. If you can afford to lose $1,000 and you think some might try to win with your terms in mind, then I think that's a more gentlemanly wager among friends.

On the other hand, none of my friends are democrats. None. Nobody I associate with would ask me top dig into my bank account and fund illegal alien's health care or sex changes for prisoners. My friends aren't insane.

In CA I can walk right out the door same day with this and ammo, and I am not a cop.

You'd lose that bet if you made it against the wrong person.

How would you be able to walk out with the ammo the same day?

That's what I was thinking. Does the purchase take into account when they physically take possession of the firearm?

OP NEEDS NEW FRIENDS. /thread

OP stated they had to "bring it to him" within a week so he had that covered.

That is an interesting point to add to the caveats because a home based FFL with the friends might be able to drive to his house and show it to OP, stating that the anti-gun friends own it.

If these friends are that competitive, they might find a way to weasel their way to "winning" on a technicality.

I am gonna say the loser should pay for the gun, not $10K.

I'm pretty sure the OP means to bring THE GUN in a week, but he does not specifically state that...

If you can legally buy a gun and a box of ammo for it and bring it back here to me within a week from right now, I'll give you $10,000.

"it" could be just the ammo or "it" could be the gun depending on how you read the offer...
