I think that it is reasonable for my own conscience as well as protection against potential civil liabilities to ask to see DL and record the DL number of the buyer.
That is YOUR conscience. If I have enough powers of discernment to decide for myself whether or not someone is being honest, then thankfully, the law leaves that decision to me.

If someone really is questioning the legality of selling me a gun, I'm not opposed to showing them my license, but that's where it ends.

You're transfering your property to me in exchange for money. Once my personal information starts coming into play as a bargaining chip, the transaction becomes inequitable, and I become disinterested.

And recording my DL number? That's completely ridiculous. Like I said, that's your perogative, but I for one would never do business with you.
