I've bought as many FTF as most and I don't have a hard rule. The last transaction we met in a restaurant parking midway. He brought two original copies of a bill of sale which we both signed. On my part, I provided a sheet with my DL and CHL scanned on it.

In this case, it was more a matter of reassuriing him, not me.

I've done deals with no paperwork at all, sometimes glancing at the CHL's.

Whatever it takes to make you comfortable, but you are worrying too much.

The most I'm willing to do is allow you to glance at my CHL, and that's it. If the authorities come to you later on asking who you sold the gun to, I don't want you to be able to identify me. It's best for both of us if all you can truthfully say is that, "I sold it to some guy I met on the internets!"

I've bought quite a number of firearms FTF, both at gun shows from private sellers, and from individuals on this board and others. I've never had a bad experience and have met a lot of great people.
