when you sell a firearm

[neginfluence04]

When you sell a firearm to an OSA member, friend, or someone from armslist.com what steps do you take?

1) I prefer to meet at a local range for three reasons. The first being it's not odd seeing someone with a firearm in the parking lot. Second there are a lot of other armed individuals besides myself. Last but not least if the person wants to test the firearm they are more than welcome to on their own dime.

2) I never go unarmed (CC) or alone and I always bring at least two people with me.

3) I ask for an ID to make sure the individual I'm selling the firearm is of age to purchase said firearm (21 for handguns and 18 on all other firearms).

4) I remember the license plate of the vehicle that they drove and keep all info from our contact (cell phone, e-mail, ect)


Are there any other steps you guys think I should implore to make my transactions safer? I'm open to any suggestions and would like to know what others do during their face to face meets?

Wow. I meet at a public place, exchange a handshake and money for firearm, and drive away.

But then I've never had much to sell, so I've made few transactions.

I meet in public places and make the deal. If the buyer seems like a problem i wont make the deal but that has never happened with an OSA deal. I do typically write down the buyers name and phone number along with the gun info. As far as age goes, you can legally sell a handgun to anyone at least 18 years old in a private transaction. Twenty-one is required for purchases from a dealer or to get CCW permit.

This is all I do, sometimes I will bring a buddy just in case, ive got a ccl so I'm always carrying. If they are on OSA I look up they're feedback

the only other thing you could do is get to the location early and get inside a shark cage before the transaction!

Sounds like you should just go ahead and have them fill out a 4473.

Normally meet at a gas station, grocery store, or bank parking lot. Give gun, take money, drive away. High value items I take a buddy.

Meet in public. No big deal. I'll ask if there's any reason you can't own a gun but that's as far as my inquisitions go. Sometimes my wife comes along.
