Ha ha ha..........I did forget the "look at money, yep looks real". With the rash of incidents of counterfeit money (especially hundred dollar bills), that is a real concern!!!!

Re: Straw purchase and private sales

Assuming we know what is required by law.....then it just comes down to whatever the buyer/seller agree to and what makes them comfortable. If you don't like the terms of the sale, don't buy it. Main thing is for seller's to advise the buyer of his/her requirements. I do let buyer's know that I need to view their TXDL or TXCHL. I also tell them if they would like, I would provide a bill of sale. Those are just my selling requirements and other's will differ which is fine.

This year I had a local buyer who insisted we transfer the gun via an FFL. So I met him at my FFL's house and we transferred the gun. It was OK with me as it didn't cost me anything extra so what the heck. I was, however, somewhat surprised. But we agreed to it upfront and that was OK.

At a gun show I was selling a cheap little gun that had belonged to my dad and the buyer didn't want to show his TXDL so I declined to sell it to him. He then offered MORE money than the asking price......warning bells going off at this point. Needless to say I didn't sell it to him. Sometimes you just get a gut feeling that something isn't right.
