Parking lot of a gun store. Hit Cabela's. it won't raise any alarms there like it might outside of an organic grocery store. Consider your random bystander audience.

Done several sales in Costco parking lots. I generally try to pick places where there is a fair number of people and then go to a corner of the lot without a lot of prying eyes.

Default Safe Exchange Zone

If you’re in Edmonton, the EPS have a Safe Exchange Zone in the parking lot of their South West detachment on Windermere way. It’s set up for kijiji type deals and they do not require you to call ahead or anything.

That being said, I bought a rifle in the Cabela’s parking lot today and due to their curb side pickup only policy, there weren’t many other people there and it didn’t feel sketchy to shoulder the gun and give it a good look over before I paid.

Call in advance and check the Police trade area you want to use. Some do not want you doing guns in them. They can be pretty touchy about it. I have met guys at all kinds of places to do sales and buys, Cabela's no one reacts to seeing a gun, other places you need to be a lot more circumspect but I have never had a problem so far.
