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...

The few times I've done it, I asked to see a DL and copied the name and DL number with state for my records. Never asked for anything else. No DoB or SSN or address or anything. Let the buyer see what I was keeping and let them know that it would be destroyed after a year.

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.

OP, did you fill out papers when you bought the gun? Yea, you go ahead & sell it like it's apple pie at the county fair. And don't think twice when that acquaintance decides later he's bored with it and then sells it to a drinking buddy friend, and that guy loans it to his drugged out felon cousin, and the next guy steals it from him, etc, etc??  When it's found in a home invasion murder 6 towns down the road and they trace it back to you, take solace in knowing that it's your constitutional right to hire the best attorneys money can buy!! lol....lol.... be sure to show em this thread during your civil lawsuit trial too.

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.

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.

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 shit… I did recently have a gun on a local board FS and met the person in the Rural King parking lot. 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.

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 sex-journal and sleep well at night.

This is my only real concern as we are near the border of SC, in fact, many work in our area (GA) from across the state line. While I think it's a stupid law, it one that could get you hemmed up and while I don't give a shit about a BOS, I might want to just make sure they're a resident in the same state.
