+1 on the feedback section, beat me to it Ray.
I always bring someone with me whether buying or selling and let someone else know where i am going. Always get proof that they stated they are legal to own and check ID. I specifically ask in emails if they are legal, tell them I will need to see cdl or ccw and save those emails. Close enough to a bill of sale for me.
My rules are simple: Meet in a public place(prefer my place of business). See an ID(or better, a CCW) to verify residency if I don't know the person. Ask "Is there any reason under state or Federal law that you would not be able to purchase this firearm?", again if I don't know them. Gut check: if it doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. If all of those things pass, then conclude the transaction, shake hands, and carry on.
Personally, and with my recent job, I ask for a signed receipt. I won't argue the legalities and if it does or does not protect you in case of something bad happening, but in my book it never hurts to get a signed receipt from the buyer stating they can legally own a firearm and are taking possession of it from you....
Could you simply ask the buyer to fill out a Form 4473 for you and get a copy of their drivers license? At least you would have their signature and answers to the questions that every other gun dealer needs.
I have wondered one thing about bringing a friend...
isn't the definition of a gun show 3 or more people and that would require a 4473 in colorado? TECHNICALLY... I mean...
3 way transaction, yes.. 3rd wheel, no
