Not at all. If you don't want to carry, then don't. You have to weigh all the factors. Are you telling an Internet stranger that you're bringing $800 in cash with you to a parking lot at night to buy a pair of PA speakers? Or are you meeting up with someone with a high post count and stellar reputation from a local chat board on guns, who also happens to be a cop (I've done this plenty of times)? I carry all the time, so it's not much effort to put on an OC holster when the deal involves guns or lots of cash. OC'ing pretty much guarantees a smooth transaction or that the other guy, if a criminal, drives by and then no-shows. If you don't like it, stick with PayPal and pay them 4% to cover butt, plus shipping.
