1-I don't want strangers who know I have guns or valuable things to know where to come get them when I am not home.

2- giving a copy if my DL gives full name, address, birthday, dl#. A little online research and my identity is compromised...

Bigger chance if these two in my opinion than BATF knocking on my door.

all i need is your name (first and last) and I can pretty much find out all the info on a BOS easily from the internet. case and point is when i first met my GF she wouldnt tell me her middle name and told me i had to figure it out myself. so 3 hours later i came back and gave her her full name, her address, her parents names, her moms maiden name, any arrests that she or her parents have had, and where she's lived for the past 5 years. her face turned white and was all like "How do you know all that" I said "i know how to use the internet". I think thats one of the reasons she fell for me haha. nerdy is the new sexy. funny how all thru school nerds were made fun of and now whenever your wifi breaks, guess who's gonna come and fix it.

How does a BOS prove the buyer is not prohibited from owning a firearm? A DL can tell you their state of residency and age, but that’s it.

the BOS that was linked in this thread has the sentence "buyer acknowledges that he/she is legally able to purchase and own a firearm" etc etc... so if it turns out that they ARENT legally able to buy a gun they signed a legally binding agreement that they are able to legally purchase a firearm but lied. just one more way a BOS will cover your butt in case something goes down.

We can require anything we want. If we want them to stand on their head then we can require it. Just don’t be surprised when no ones wants to stand on their head.

I occasionally see guns for sale that look interesting. Then I will read the part where the seller requires the buyer to use an FFL, at the buyers expense, for a $200 gun. Or requires a FTF transaction when they live 200 miles from the nearest major city, and the seller refuses to meet in the middle, etc. I sometimes get curious about whether these guys actually manage to ever sell their guns.

But as you said, you can require anything you want, as either the seller or the buyer. If a business owner can require me to not be wearing underwear* in order to buy from them, they why would a private seller not be able to put any restrictions they want on a buyer?

* or shoes, or a gun, or a shirt, etc., etc.

When I sell on gun broker or texas gun broker, if the buyer is a resident of Texas and wanting to skip the FFL in a FTF, I am good with it. Like I said earlier, I have an issue with putting restrictions on a gun purchase that are beyond what the law requires. I have never ask for a DL in a FTF. That is just against my grain.

One can get or give a bill of sale(receipt) with no driver license, LTC, background checks, family verification or thumb prints.

I am with Carlson, comply with the law and no more or less.

i can see both sides of the coin... if i do a private sale to joe bob over here who then decides to shoot up a liquor store, when they run the gun it'll show that I bought it and to avoid confusion and trying to convince everyone that i sold him the gun based on the honor system, i'd rather have some sort of BoP or receipt or SOMETHING just to cover my butt. same with selling/buying a car/boat/trailer or anything that could come back to bite me in the rear.
