How do you typically handle private handgun sales like the ones here on Bayou Shooter? I had listed my handgun late last year, and got several offers. But they were very suspect. I’m always concerned about selling to someone who may have a criminal background, etc. and I don’t know about it. Because in a private sale, they are either usually 1. Just trying to get a good deal, or 2. Cannot purchase from a store due to perhaps a criminal record.
I guess it would be good to do the transaction at a local FFL, but I never see any of these “for sale” posts mention that. I ended up bringing my gun to a local gun shop on consignment, but they have had it over four months now and still have not sold it.
So when you list a gun, do you just do a bill of sale and roll with it and not worry about background checks? Also, where do you typically meet if not at an FFL somewhere?
