If you are scared to sell to your fellow Americans (and apparently gang members) on this board, why don't you put your pieces on consignment??
That is the p.c. thing to do.

Wow. BTW, how do I know that you are not a felon trying to buy my gun? I guess I can take your word for it. You seem like a nice person.

Yes, you can LEGALLY take a person's word for it...
Well, I wasn't talking to you Westy. But since you have something to say... Can you explain why your signature line quote doesn't completely contradict your response?? Franklin was an amazing man, he was. What do you think our Forefathers would think when we are scared to deal on a handshake?
I have yet to meet anyone from this board who deserves LIBERAL paranoid scrutiny. No tattoed gang members (though I'm not sure what tattoes have to do with criminality). Just fellow enthusiasts who have an interest that is under assault. Just don't know why the LIBERAL assault is encroaching it's ugliness into a forum for regular American gun owners..
BTW Don't know who added the extra qualifications for the original ad in this thread, but that was funny!!!
I have seen sellers require the buyer to sign a bill of sale, and copy info from drivers license, but THIS IS A FIRST.FTF, and only to current LE, military or CCW, with blood test, urine test, psychiatric evaluation, CIA/FBI/Interpol/Trilateral Commission background checks, SAT scores no less that 1200 and a note from your mom.
LE, military or CCW? MOST of the people I know wouldn't pass this one.
Blood and urine test? I have never submitted to one of these in my LIFE.
Psych eval? No need for this, everyone KNOWS I'm nuts.
I would not live long enough for all these places to return a background check.
SAT score? Would a first grade report card work?
But this one is the clincher, it is NOT POSSIBLE to get a note from mom, so I guess it's off to the gun show this weekend, to try to find my HK.
This thread is too much without me adding my two cents!
If the seller wants to add "pass a CBI check", that is their prerogative, and as a minority have stated, it IS a way to cover one's arse. Nothing illegal about it, and if the buyer has nothing to hide, WTF is the difference? It gives both parties an easy feeling: the seller knows he isn't selling to a felon ,etc, and the buyer knows he isn't buying a stolen weapon. Don't want to go through with the check, don't buy the friggin' thing.
However, selling a totally legal weapon to only LE/Military/CCW holders, as in this case, is asinine.
Here is another.

Trempel,
Personally, I think the terms of sale are odd. It's your sale and your perogative. You mentioned the .22 sale example. I would not have sold to him either. If I don't see a DL, then no sale. Signing a bill of sale is not out of line either. LE/MIL id? CCW? If I'm going through a background check, I'll go to a gun shop to begin with. I guess I'm missing the reason for the extra obstacles.
So, good luck with that.
