Thoughts on private gun sales

[Sgt7330]

The seller calls the ball, period.
You set the conditions when you post.
If a potential buyer doesn’t agree to your conditions, then they can go somewhere else.

^ This. I ask to verify residency, LTCH.

Details should be in the ad of the seller imposed conditions…

I show them my ID and ask for theirs and run their name on mycase. Then set the IDs next to the firearm and both of us take a picture.

I'm going to start requiring a DNA sample and a sub dermal gps locator. Off to the classifieds...

Totally agree sir.

So, you're going to force a potential buyer to spend months obtaining a permit that's no longer necessary in the state of Indiana?

I get why you might have wanted/needed to do so before July 1st, but seems to me that might severely limit your opportunities for a sale at this point.

Because doing this is a good-faith way I can confirm the potential buyer is not restricted. The local law enforcement head where the buyer lives has vetted them for a gun permit.

Not a perfect way and could have a revoked permit, sure.

In the end, I’m more concerned at not allowing my gun end up in the wrong hands than any loss of sale opportunities. Period

I hope we see less people asking for LTCH. It was never that great of a "check" anyway.

According to the ISP, there are over 1.2 million pink cards issued as of 4/1/22, and there are about 4.5 million 5 million adult Hoosiers.

With those numbers there's gonna be no shortage of people that have got a pink card then committed a felony later and still have the physical card.

Ultimately it's up to the seller and I have showed LTCH in the past when requested by the seller. Just not a big fan of giving up personal info especially if it doesn't prove anything.

I'll show a seller whatever it takes to make them comfortable about me being an Indiana resident.....but you ain't recording ****.

Alot of seem to have a problem with proving your not a felon...I mean if the terms are unreasonable we can always go to an FFL who will do way more that a simple mycase search

Proving I am a proper person is not the issue. Recording my personal information is!

 

[MrNewVegas]

The minute you start typing my personal information into a database, we're done.....and a photo of my ID, nope.

To each his own.

I'd be ok with not wanting a photo of ID thats why I always bring a bill of sale but the mycase search is non negotible...only had one person not be ok with it so I told them to meet me down the road at a gun shop for a transfer and they never showed so to me its a good way to eliminate felons

Please report back on how many INGOers take you up on your personal background checking procedure.

@MrNewVegas - so you base your decisions on a web site that has the following disclaimer:

Information displayed on this site is not to be considered or used as an official court record and may contain errors or omissions. Accuracy of the information is not warranted.

And you provide your buyers with a copy of your background check and proof that you aren't a government agent?

Edit: Private sales are just that, private. The parties involved each get to decide what steps they want to take to complete the deal. Make yourself happy and use whatever procedure you want.

I have to ask - if you want to make sure you aren't meeting a felon, shouldn't you do it before you meet in person?

I ain't gotta prove anything other than residency its a simple search if you ain't cool with it you won't get the product im selling that simple

Haven't sold any on here yet but I'm done many of private sells its my property its done how I feel it needs done or not at all...I prolly wouldn't wanna sell to yall tin foil hat guys anyway

The mycase search doesn't have anything to do with residency.

No but the ID you show for me to get said info does mycase showes me weather you have warrants or felony charges

You don't have anything I want badly enough to give up all of that personal info you want. I can legally buy whatever you're selling somewhere else.

At the end of the day, we're in agreement.

 

[2A-Hoosier23]

Only warrants or charges in Indiana, right? And even then, myCase isn't 100% reliable
