Private FTF Gun Sales

I wouldn't worry too much about the FTF issue, -I highly doubt PUBLIC ADVERTISED FTF sales will exist by the time Summer rolls around.

agreed on that edit. unless any rule is coupled with a rigidly enforced registration program, to the point of you get arrested and firearm taken if you don't have the papers with the gun at all times. The war on drugs has proven that it is very difficult to regulate transactions that happen behind closed doors.

Here is another question, how much would this group flip out if someone posted a firearm for sale requiring a CCW or be LEO to buy? In discussions with someone recently, that idea came up but I can only imagine the hate comments that might follow. It's really the only way a FTF seller knows the guy is a "good guy" without using an FFL which right now would suck. Just curious what the reaction would be. Fire away!

Your sale your rules. If you're that concerned about who you sell a gun to. Either insist they do a 4473 OR sell all your guns, since there might be issues down the road. You have 49 post in 1 year and you have a concern about selling a gun to one of us[ROFL2]

UPDATED: Asking for one of the above is your rules. REQUESTING it as the only way to sell a gun is another. Not all members here are LE or (for some reason) CCW?

I've actually seen a couple of ads with that requirement (CCW or LEO).

Actually this is common enough I don't think anyone bats an eye about it. I've seen many a sale have this as a requirement.

I've bought a few FTF and never had an issue. One guy wanted a BoS, the rest were a friendly chat, DL or CCW look and everyone goes home happy. A 10-minute chat can tell you a lot about a person if one pays attention.

Flame me. I prefer to only deal with CCW holders. That's my business

Thanks all for the great info

Having bought two firearms through this forum, good deals too, in FTF meetings, now its time to clean out the safe a bit.

Besides the obvious, avoid dark alleys and large amounts of cash, any other tips about FTF selling?

Any special laws, rules or regulations I need to be aware of? See a CDL or CCW prior to sale?

Any information would be greatly appreciated...

Quick look at the driver's license or CCW, try and bring someone else or let someone know where you're meeting and with who, and meet in a public place.

Those are my general guidelines for whenever I meet someone up.
