As a person who has never done a FTF transfer before I was a little curious as to how some of the risks of the transaction are mitigated... Lets say someone is a buyer in a FTF transfer. How does that person protect themselves from the unlikely scenario that the seller turns around an reports the serial number as stolen?

That's why some people like a bill of sale.

It would be kind of retarted to go through all of that and then just turn around and report it stolen. Not too mention, if its proven that he made a false report of a crime, that my friend, is a felony.

Most would find that a bad idea.

FTF means one gets cash, one gets the gun.  No bill of sale bull shit.

If you aren't comfortable with that,  pay a FFL to do a paper trail transfer


Everyone is an armchair lawyer these days.

I take a picture of his DL so I have proof he is a resident of the same state if there was ever a problem. Never had a problem and I buy sel trade couple of times a year.
