So Some Guy From Colo Gun Market...

[Colorado Luckydog]

.....wants my drivers license number, name and my address on a bill of sale. I was selling him a shotgun. I told him he couldn't have that much information. He said he needed the information if I wanted to sell him the gun. I told him to pound salt in his ass.

Am I missing something? Would any of you guys give up that much infomation? Just wondering??

He can ask but he ain't getting it from me. A private firearms transaction in Colorado does not require such information.

You can LOOK at my drivers license and you can write my NAME on the BOS, but other than that I'm not handing some potential identity thief the keys to the castle.


Also as far as I'm concerned the seller makes the rules not the buyer.

Seems a little excessive for a buyer to request - I'd think a signed BOS should keep him out of trouble if something was wrong with the gun. Did you meet them in person or was it over email....did they try to get you to email them the info

I have no problem doing BOS but I personally won't give anyone my address on one, or my social. You can write my name down, and if I don't think you'll sell it (or otherwise improperly use it) I may let you write down my license number-but my name should be sufficient.

I only give that info to Nigerians when making international financial transactions...not something I'd divulge on local gun deals.

It was in person. If he would have old me that on the phone, I would not have even met up with him.

Been covered a bazillion times here LuckyDog.
There are no legal requirements for a person to person sale as far as paperwork, it is the seller/buyers call.
I personally will get the name, DOB and DL # of a seller/buyer and put it on my copy of a BOS.
Just my CYA if you get a call or visit from any agency inquiring as to the disposition of said item. Makes answering said inquiry much less uncomfortable.

Do what you are comfortable with.

You should have given him a copy of your BC and SS card as well..

I'm not really comfortable with the DOB + DL # part ... too easy for you to use that information for nefarious purposes (and maybe you're perfectly honest but you have a teenage kid or worthless cousin in the house that will steal it).

If you're worried about legal trouble from selling a gun to "the wrong person" than meet up at a gun dealer and run an NICS.

But you're right, you gotta do what you're comfortable with. I would just prefer that people with requirements put those requirements in their ads.
