Other arguments about a Bill of Sale aside, but my memory is hazy after I took Business Law 40 years ago. But, as I recall, even a paperless cash sale is a legal contract between a buyer and seller. An offer to sell has been made by the seller, and the offer accepted by the buyer, and consideration has been exchanged. Maybe my memory is faulty.

Simply checking their DL, to ensure they are not from out of state, IS determining their right to buy your gun.

I think it's called "freedom." A person has the right not to provide information that isn't required by law, and a person has the right to ask for that information, as long as it doesn't violate a law. Simple. You don't want a bill of sale, then don't do business with anyone that asks for one. Doesn't mean they're ignorant, and your desire not to provide that information doesn't out weigh their desire to have it. Just MHO.
