So the other day I found out my friend ordered a revolver on the dark Web. We live in Canada, where it's pretty easy to get a pistol legally, so I'm not sure why he decided to try this. My question is... What is the likelihood of him even getting it? I'm convinced that it will be seized at the border and he's getting Ripped off, but he assures me otherwise. Also I'm pretty sure he had terrible opsec through the entire process. Is my buddy boned?
In general, purchasing weapons on DNMs is not advisable. Most likely, the vendor was really law enforcement and your friend will need to clean house and plead the fifth.
