Whats with ???

Think of it as insurance. What's $25 bucks and a 15 minute wait for a CBI check? It's not like we have a 14 day waiting period rule like other places. We've got a system that works better than others around the country - why not take advantage of it?

I have insurance don't need anymore and have done many transactions with out all the crap you speak of. I also own a business in denver and you do not know what your talking about when it comes to private sales.

That being said you're right we do have a system that works we meet trade money and merchandise done deal. We are taking advantage of what works.

You are free to make up any conditions you wish as to the sale of your goods, However I will never buy anything from you under those conditions.

The most I would ever do is if the buyer looked under age I would ask to see id to make sure they are of age. I would not sell to some idiot with his pants around his ankles with 40 pounds of gold chains around his neck. I would not sell to somebody that was obviously on drugs or appeared to be irrational. ect. ect. ect.

Not real hard if you ask me. Then again common sense seems to be a thing of the past.

Freedom works both ways. Sellers have the freedom to attach whatever conditions they want to the sale to protect their own asses, comply with the law as they see it or just to make them comfortable. Buyers have the freedom to NOT buy from sellers who they think are unreasonable in price or condition.

Why the kvetching? OP posted to let sellers know he's concerned about the recent prevalence of sellers wanting FFL transfers or background checks. Ed posted to let buyers know why he insists on it. Both points of view are reasonable so why thrash at each other instead of thrashing at the unreasonable morons in Denver government or the DNC?

The Brady Bunch, DNC, Obama, etc. are the REAL enemy -- quit spewing at fellow shooters unless they give you real cause (like being unsafe, unreasonable scofflaws, etc.).

I agree with this. The only thing I would add is when a buyer does attach the condition that it must go through a FFL and background check that it should be asked if they are requiring the conditions because they think the law says they need to or if they are doing it for their own reasons. As long as they acknowledge that FTF sales are legal then I'm fine with them putting the condition.
