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.

this. i did this to a guy once because he had no posts on the forum. its not a legal issue, he can turn me down, but then i can refuse to sell to him. really more than anything i wanted to meet him in person and make sure his information was legit. all i took was his name and phone number, but seeing the license made me feel better about it. if someone has a good amount of posts, and especially some feedback, then i don't require anything

As long as they are of legal age and have a valid CO DL that is all you are required to check. On a few occasions I've allowed a SELLER to copy my address and DL # for a bill of sale, but you don't get a photocopy. I would never provide that data to a BUYER. He has no legitimate need for it, whereas a seller might want that record for piece of mind in the event ATF contacts him years later asking why a handgun he originally purchased was found at a crime scene. Some guys want no data exchanged at all, and I'm fine with that, but I'm usually willing to work with a seller who feels it will give him piece of mind.

Good God guys. BPTactical is running a BUSINESS in the firearms trade. You wanna buy/sell a gun thru him, it's going into his books one way or the other. As an individual it is a choice. The more info you can get from a buyer or seller, the safer you are via CYA. It's a choice- take yours and go to bed.

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

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

I only require fingerprints and a hair sample :P

But truthfully, I probably wouldn't give that much info to him. A name should be enough.
