Purchasing from an individual

[Bunnykid68]

I have had several deals with members here, no ID's shown, handshakes, cash exchanged for firearms, some bull ****ting, more handshakes , we went our separate ways. Or in a few cases, handshakes and then they left my home.

I do all of my deal outside a LGS. Many well armed good people around to stop anything from happening... if it so does

When I do a sale transaction, it is in a public area and require a DL, LTCH and make out a signed bill of sale including their name, address and DL number as well as the serial number and description of the firearm.
It's called CYA.

Wow, no thanks. I don't even have to provide that much documentation for an FFL transfer.

Anyone asks me for that much info I'll return the favor and request a signed receipt with seller's name and address and SN and description of the gun along with proof of ownership. All my deals (both directions), have been done without even an exchange of names.

I'll pass. You can certainly set whatever conditions of sale you want but if this becomes common practice then it is much easier to make it the law and I am not in favor of tighter laws on firearms purchases. Follow the law, don't add to it or subtract from it.

I always accompany a friend of mind whenever he's buying or selling, safer in numbers.

Safer in numbers, no doubt. If meeting a total stranger to sell or buy, bring either another person that can back you up, or at the least, make sure you carry a quality pistol if it needs to go that way - but; you should probably have had an inkling of whether or not they were sketchy when you spoke to them about the meet. While a Bill of Sale is not required, if that is what you need to feel better about what you are doing - do it. Same with the Larry check. What people choose to do with any product after a purchase is beyond your control... It is THEIR choice.

I do it in a public place and see LTCH and DL and I record just name and city of residence in a book that keeps track of my transactions.

In that case I would want your name, address, date of birth, social security number, driver's license info, name of the town in which you were born and your mother's maiden name.

CYA you know.
