Rotor, if you don't trust the average person to purchase your firearm, sell it on consignment at a gun store or only sell to CHL holders. I feel I can judge a person fairly quickly, and if I get the hebi jebies I can call off the sale. Most people I deal with are members of our local gun range, I know them, they know me, we buy sell and trade all without the BATF's permission. I've met a member here and traded guns, no big deal.
If someone wanted to meet me behind the abandoned Kroger in Stop Six, I would politely decline. If I got a bad vibe after meeting someone at the Parks Mall in Arlington, I'd call off the deal. I am not worried about people selling and trading guns amongst themselves since the criminal will do so regardless of any laws. If you don't want to, that is fine with me. C'est la vie.

Re: List of executive actions Obama plans to take
You are asking law abiding folks to be treated like criminals while criminals laugh at the law. If "Homeboy" and "Brah" want to trade a Glock 19 for 15 grams of crack, they are not going to go to a FFL. Even if they were doing a deal for cash, they are not going to an FFL. That law will only effect the people who wish to obey the law, no one else. It will not stop criminal from stealing, buying, selling, or giving guns to other criminals.rotor wrote:I recently bought a gun at Academy. Kind of a hastle, background check, carry the gun out of the store before giving it to me but not a bad transaction and I can live with that. I also recently bought a gun from someone on texasguntrader.com. To be honest I was apprehensive going to his house with cash on hand, etc. I was happy to see that he was in his military uniform and he was happy to see that I was an upright individual but we must admit that any felon or crazy could buy a gun that way and get away with it. We really don't want crooks and crackpots getting guns. So, there really is a loophole here with private sales. As an honest person I wouldn't mind that loophole being closed. We only want guns going to responsible people. So how do we do this without having a FFA person getting in between? Can't we get an app for a smartphone to allow me to check someone or for them to check me before we sell a gun to an individual. I sure wouldn't sell and take a check without knowing if it would clear the bank first.
As an honest person I have done face to face deals with strangers and gone through a FFL, I feel less "dirty" after a FTF sale, like I didn't have to sell my soul to the government just to exercise my rights. YMMV
