[QUOTE="technetium-99m, post: 2475168, member: 3615"] I'm with you Rod, it is illegal and there is no question about that. I think my issue here is with how much insurance a note about what happened with the gun really is. Or what level of suspicion you should have when conducting a private sale. If a buyer drives up in a vehicle with an OK plate and is obviously of age then what more do you gain by seeing their DL? It's not like felons have a big red F on there, or schizophrenics have a big red S stamped on the plastic. If I sell that gun and it ends up at a crime scene they will come knocking on my door, but I have to think they still have some burden of proof to show that I did not perform due diligence when selling. In the case of an ATF agent from out of state. If he walks up to you at a gun show to buy a rifle slung over your shoulder and offers no reason for you to question where he lives or his age, how can they charge you with a crime if there isn't a law to check his ID? I get that it is illegal, I do. I just want to know how they get from suggesting you check some form of ID, to jail time for not checking ID. That makes it less of a suggestion and more of a requirement. That's my sticking point, if you can get me around it please do, I am not trying to be argumentative here. [/QUOTE]
