Said he would buy my handgun, I was even willing to drive 40 miles to meet him. Again, said he would take it. The he decided he didn't like my insisting on a bill of sale for my protection.

I gotta ask if you included this in your ad? I have been pissed at people who pulled this on me before. no mention until I drive to meet the guy and he pulls out a piece of paper. lucky for him it was too good of a deal for me to pass up. If it hadn't been I would have stopped the deal right there.
I still let him know about it.

Since it isn't required, most people don't want it.

I suggest you change the ad and let people know what you are expecting.

Sniper, it isn't in my add, but I told him in a pm. He didn't bitch about it until I listed him as the buyer in the add, and got mad about that. I thought I was doing the guy a good one, "hey, look at the good guy who bought my gear". So he says I'm requiring too much "paperwork" and backs out.

Perhaps I should list in my thread I want a bill of sale. But it is NOT that uncommon a practice, and I'm just covering my own ass.

There is a huge thread about this. You're not really covering anything by having a bill of sale. You're only narrowing your customer base and opening yourself up to lawsuits in my opinion.

[Birddog1911]

What possible lawsuits? How is it not protecting me by having a bill of sale saying so-and-so purchased my firearm? He still said he would take it, and then backed out. That is the bottom line here.

I know you are upset about him backing out, I don't blame you for that, but I don't blame him either.

The more paper work you make people fill out, the more you make yourself look like a business. The more you look like a business, the better chance you have of getting sued by some one if they hurt themselves.

It sounds far fetched, I know, but it is something to consider.

A bill of sale isn't that much paper work either, but once people start wanting to have copies of driver's licenses and stuff for their "records," then they start looking like a business. It's a thin line when paper work is involved.

You see, I can't tell people "you do that/you do this".
