FTF sale terms

[DD977GM2]

Why is there a rash of super duper extra crap tp do for a sale or trade of firearms.
Folks wanting bill of sales and even down to going through a local FFL if you dont have a CCW permit.

I didnt want to shit on a guys thread, but when I see that shit, doesnt matter how great of a deal whatever is for sale or trade, I wouldnt do business with them.


Am I the only one who has noticed this increase in liberal douchebaggery?

I Seen it...
Saw a guy once asking for CCW for a Rifle sale.

wound up being an error... but yeah, Proof of residency would be good enough for me.

I guess it would also help if the Picture on the ID Looked like you :P

KIDDING

[pickenup]

You are not the only one.

I have passed on deals that I might have gotten because of their "requirements"

Their choice to put whatever stipulations they want on their sale.
MY choice to pass, because of them.

The CCW intrigues me. The Colo ID and a bill of sale should be plenty...

[TS12000]

I figure it's their property and choice, but they should be aware that will shoe away some business. The one I can't stand is "will transfer at an FFL with check"

If I wanted a gun from a store that's what I would've done in the first place...

[Hoosier]

It seems like the only time you ever see it is with Newbies. My guess is they're trying to sell their gun and aren't familiar or comfortable with the laws and are trying to play it safe.

Seems to be a comfort level for people that are new to ftf transactions. I have no problems showing ID, but dont want to sign for stuff because someone (seller) is a little paranoid about me going off the deep end and using their old firearm to do it with. And I guess for guys that aren't new to it or paranoid about it, its just limiting their audience for it and they are ok with that. To each their own, but I'll buy mine from that guy that cares that I am of age, not a felon, and resident. Anything else and I'll just go to the gun store for all that hassle and buy it new.

I know for me the first time I sold a firearm FTF I was all kinds of nerves. I all but wanted a fingerprint check.

Thankfully it was to Bailey Guns (owned a gun store) and I got a good education.

Now I know better, maybe its just guys who are new to it?




Thanks again by the way, and I have almost wrapped up your DNA scan, Bailey!

Seriously we should put a sticky up with a common sense guide to Buying/Selling a gun FTF private party.


Honestly, if I am selling I will do the Obligatory ID Check drivers license/State ID/ CCW or any other form of government ID.
Ask (only) "hey, are you in any way unable to pass a BCI?"
that's all that's required.

Its all good, I'm covered in case its some ass-hat gun grabber making a youtube video or off-the-wall BATF Sting (I have some serious paranoia issues) and nobody is put out.

bill of sale, FFL BCIs Fingerprints, Blood tests, Stool samples... not required by law and not needed thanks.
