I know the rules around it are pretty minimal, but how are most private party sales conducted? In California, we had to go into a gun store and the FFL was essentially an intermediary who would ensure the purchaser could legally acquire the firearm. As a seller, that took away a lot of the risk in terms of meeting up with someone and knowing you weren't transferring to a felon, etc.
Advice would be appreciated!
- In Indiana, are gun stores a place where two private parties can meet to conduct a sale inside the store? Even though they're not involved in the transaction, it just seems like it would be a good environment to transfer a gun / cash.
- What's generally considered reasonable due-diligence to ensure the buyer is someone who hasn't lost their right to purchase/own a firearm? As a potential seller, I'd like to minimize my liability.
Advice would be appreciated!
