Would take picture of their license bare minimum. Last time I sold to a stranger, which was many years ago, I luckily checked his license. I wrote down the basic info. (This was before phone cameras.). Got a call from the ATF some months afterwards wanting to know who I sold it too. Gave them the guys name and the ATF guy said “this guy is known to us”. I guess he had been buying guns in Maine and selling them illicitly in Mass. Funny thing is this guy showed up in a company truck. Didn’t hesitate to show me his license and we had a short but good chat. One of the most secure feelings I had when I sold a gun FTF. After that I didn’t sell to strangers anymore.

Any firearm transaction between me and another private party must take place in my dimly lit unfinished basement or a random dark alley.
If they aren’t willing to honor my terms they won’t be conducting business with me. |

I figure it demonstrates due diligence to see their ID to show state residency and confirm they're of legal age. I hate that the law exists, but I did have an underage guy try to buy something once that got a little tense when I had to tell him no. Big thanks to Rick Scott and the anti-gun coward caucus in the FL GOP for that one...

Money and bill of sale that states they attest that they are legal to own it.
Pistol, above plus Driver's license. |

I need to see their cash, silver, or trade, and a driver's license. I don't need a picture of it, I don't write anything down, I just need to see that birthdate, and that its from TX.

Quoted: I see some crazy recommendations on here dealing with selling guns. Things that are above and beyond what is required by law. Stuff the gun haters would love. I'm in the camp that I'm exchanging my property for cash. I don't want to know the buyers name or see ID. Give me money and leave. View Quote Nothing to do with legal and I never pretended it was. Just a CYA in case the cops came to me asking why something papered to me was found at a crime scene. I figured if the cops had that little bit, they could figure out the rest. Nobody ever balked, and I never got any visits from the cops. ETA: And all those records were destroyed as promised. |

Under Colorado's current bullshit regime, we meet at an FFL. Prior to 7-1-13, and forever after once I move to a free state (again), cash and a fast peek at an in-state ID and don't peg my douchebag meter.
Nobody's copying anything or writing bills of sale. I'm not doing FBATFE's job for them. |

Nothing really, but I've had PD run the serial numbers after some transaction when dealing with questionable sellers. Once I didn't and it was a "hot" rifle.

Can anybody quote ANY case law where someone was charged for a crime committed with a firearm that they legally sold without a BOS or other paperwork? I mean with legal proceedings being public record and all.
In a world where someone picking their nose in public is a newsworthy story, there should be some, correct? And I mean legit case law? Not a friend of a friend, or "I heard" or some Internet lore. |

Quoted: Being an FFL has its downsides. View Quote An FFL is allowed to "change hats" and sell personal property as a private individual. ATF does frown upon signing guns out to oneself and then selling them privately but selling an "off-the-books" gun from one's personal collection is OK. |
|
The question is moot here in VA since those assholes in Richmond eliminated private sales, but it used to be common on our state gun trading board for sellers to demand a “good guy ID,” meaning you had to hold a concealed carry permit to buy from them.
Cute nickname, huh? I have one, but it still annoyed me. Unless they were selling something I couldn’t live without, I routinely passed their listings over. |

Assuming the seller did not violate any State or Federal laws when selling the gun, there would be no recourse if someone else committed a crime with the gun. As an FFL, I once sold a gun to a co-worker who loaned it to another co-worker who offed himself with it. Not a good feeling for me or the legit buyer but no fallout afterwards. |

Cash (because cash is king) and a State ID, because it's illegal to sell to an out-of-state resident.
I used to do a Bill of Sale, but Florida doesn't require it, so I don't anymore. |
|
The bare minimum the law requires.
Same if I'm buying, I don't do BOS or copies of IDs. |

I have sold 3 guns FTF in my life, 2 to the same guy. Both guys were friends I have known for many years. I knew they were not prohibited people.
Every other gun I have sold was either traded into an FFL, or sold on consignment through an FFL. |

No offense, but you are completely delusional if you think a scenario like that would cause any significant legal problems for the seller. What is it you imagine would occur in such a case? That a guy who happened to own a gun years ago would be charged with a home invasion murder that someone else committed? That police and prosecutors would somehow ASSUME he committed a murder (despite no motive, connection, etc.) just because didn't keep records of a perfectly legal gun sale years ago? What would the basis for this imaginary civil lawsuit be? This is such a ridiculous and bizarre stretch to justify doing something that is completely unnecessary. |

Flash an instate over 21 DL cash and carry. I don't want a picture of anything or know who you are.
However if they started talking about some weird things or gave me an uncomfortable vibe I would walk. Basically gimme money and don't be a weirdo. |

Money and usually what car they are driving so I can recognize them. I will not ask for more nor will I give more when buying FTF. If they want to give me a bill of sale, that's fine.

In this thread all the fudds out themselves.
Cash and carry. Don’t look like a dirtbag is just about my only requirement. |

They had an Obama Biden bumper sticker, Biden Harris bumper sticker and the bull shit equal sign . I asked if they put the stickers on they confirmed . Then I laughed in their face got back in my car and left . They just stood there like someone fucked their wife. |

D/L and CCW....I don't write it down or anything, a quick flash is sufficient.

I ask if they're undercover law enforcement. They have to tell you if you ask....

Stool sample.
If someone is willing to do that...I turn and run. |

I don’t sell guns to people with which I wouldn’t call Brother.

Cash. The less I know the better. I'm not an FFL so I don't care.

Before I arrange any meeting, I ask (or already know) that they're a Missouri resident, and that they already own guns. That covers the criteria that I'm reasonably required to know, so then it's just cash-and-carry. I do not ever go around creating my own gun control rules.

View Quote I think the only CYA would be to simply ask and make sure the buyer isn't a prohibited person. If they say no, that's good enough for me. If they can't answer that question, I would be a little more cautious. It's only a illegal if "you know" the buyer was a prohibited person. Some like to ask for an ID (age verification and/or same-state for legal sales); some like to ask for a valid CCW to ensure they've passed the state background checks. Somewhat like you, I really don't care much, but I personally just ask to make sure they weren't a prohibited person. If they lie to me, that is on them, not me. Annotate the sale in my little daily ROCK6 |

Cash….in person deal in the parking lot of the local PD, figure Its my way out if things go sideways, but I dont ask for anything else. Now if you pull up in a rental, or out of state plates….don’t know, never happened.

Never done ftf with a stranger, but 2 friends of mine, one retired LEO made a deal, exchanged cash for gun, the the seller (LE0) said “oh yeah, I need to get a picture of your DL” Other guy gave it to him but I thought it was a real bullshit move.

cash.
not need to ask or volunteer extra information. yall need to stop with bill of sales when not required by law. no you aren't copying my DL/WCL info. no, I won't facilitate a private transfer as an FFL either. |
|
Cash for obvious reasons
If I don’t know the person: ID to verify they are a state resident CCW permit to verify the buyer is not prohibited from owning a firearm |

The only paper work I care about is the green stuff with pictures of presidents on them
