Interesting and nonsensical hypothetical. It wouldn't take much to pull up the for sale listing to show that the seller was selling the firearm and had filed a false police report. Care to point to any examples of that situation happening?
A bill of saddle is not required
Unless the person is a close friend, I too ask for a signed bill of sale. In today's litigious society to me it's a smart thing to do. If that gun is ever used in a crime and you were the last registered user life could get uncomfortable for you very quickly.
Not that I'm saying I think it happens...but I'm just gonna throw something in here to blow your mind: Not all sales happen because of INGO (or any social media).
Seriously, there are some that are just in-real-life "I know a guy..."situations.
I guess you don't understand...Then feel free to require a BoS. Not a single person has said that you can't. Many don't want to and they should be informed up front. You do seem to be arguing both sides of this.
Sure, I'm game. I promise my inbox is flame-free.Jetgirl. If you would like me to explain why. I will pm you. I do not want to flamed to death on this forum and I believe my explanation would cause that. It has before.
Honestly? Asking us if your actions are reasonable or unreasonable is about the same as asking us if we think your wife is attractive.
I see no reason why someone would mind if they have nothing to hide
I haven't ever asked, but if I did it would be MY condition of the sale.
Don't want to sign? Don't. No gun for you.
(Sorry, I HAD to. )

I find it very reasonable and I see no reason why someone would mind if they have nothing to hide just sounds like your protecting yourself
If you have nothing to hide...you won't mind if we just take a look through your house unguided...
