Should I report it?

I came across some interesting information while reviewing a competing bidders feedback. Specifically, the things that he has purchased on GB are illegal in his state (California). He also attempted to pass himself off as an "FFL licencee" (which clearly he is not), then recently changed his GB ID to possibly better reflect his character as a silent predator [}:)]. With all of the current terrorism concerns, this person is buying some very questionable merchandise (spring batons, high capacity magazines, nylon (non-metalic) knives, tear gas cartridges, etc.). He used the same ID on eBay to purchase a Sten submachine gun kit. Fortunately, one of the GB sellers of high capacity magazines refused to send them to him in California. Should I mind my own business, or should this concern be reported to local law enforcement[?]

So, you suggest that I mind my own business (or hide my head in the sand and hope the problems goes away)? I'm glad you're not my neighbor.

You should be ashamed to be an American. Shut the hell up, and mind your business. What he is buying doesn't have anything to do with terrorism.
What if he bought a box-cutter, would you report him? THINK!

YOU ASKED: "Should I mind my own business, or should this concern be reported to local law enforcement"? I answered you. If you have nothing better to do than to try to dig up dirt on someone else...I feel sorry for you[xx(] I do not know what your purchasing practices on GB have been, but someone could probably say the same ("With all of the current terrorism concerns, this person is buying some very questionable merchandise...") about you...and label you as a possible terrorist. You are frequenting a Gun site! I'm a firm believer in minding my own business. Before long, it will be illegal to own a pocket knife in CA...are you going to report everyone who does?

Why did you ask for opinions if you already knew what you were going to do? Then, you criticize the person who just honestly answers your question. I think you may be the challenging one.

You obviously had your mind made up from the beginning...so why ask the question. People here would be well advised to watch what they say and do around you.

Totally agree with Zerodin. [:O]
Yeah, that's the face I made when I read it, too. This is a dangerous pattern, mudge, my friend. [;)]
Are you just bored and feel that you need to throw in your 2 cents worth of critisism, or do you actually have something constructive to say?
I'm just trying to help you become a better person. Nothing more, nothing less. [:)]
I'll stop now, lest you get even hungrier.

I refunded his money, explaining my reasons. He said they were for a Beowolf coversion, and would only hold 10 rounds for that, but understood.
I didn't report him to CA authorities. Why? To me, that pre-ban law isn't right. I just didn't want to be any part of a CA problem to him, or to me.
Hobbyguy, do whatever you think is right. I'm not going to knock your decision. That's up to you.

It's not my position to make judgment on a poster based solely on the number of post they have made or the lack thereof. My observation of HobbyGuy was aroused by the nature of the question with it's legal ramifications, in combination with the low number of posts.
If on the other hand, you had posed the same question and I saw you had 1600+ posts, I would not have been curious about the intent of the posting.
Mayhaps this will help you understand where I'm coming from and it's not about stars, for quality will always earn my respect over quantity and I use "Member Since" dates in making that judgment.

I would think you could smell a troll as soon as they booted up their computer by now.
