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.

How do you comply with the law? How can you prove if it ever needs to be proven that a person you sell a gun to is a Texas resident or old enough to buy the gun? To me that is the reason to use a BOS. Texas doesn't require a lot but if your gun is subsequently used in a crime how can you prove that you didn't sell it to someone that didn't meet Texas minimal requirements? If you had a potential buyer that refused to do a BOS would you feel comfortable selling to him? I realize this has been debated multiple times but I only buy or sell with a valid BOS and I want the drivers license or LTC. My choice and no driving to meet half way without first agreeing on the basics. I don't care how others do it. I have never actually had a seller that wouldn't do a BOS so I really don't know if they are even out there. And I have done more than my fair share of gun buying. Much more.
My bank won't even cash my checks without my photo ID. I can't vote without my photo ID.
