So I am preparing to sell a couple of handguns. I'll offer FTF for fellow Virginians, as well as shipping to an FFL for out of state buyers.
Now obviously I MUST verify age if I feel there is a snowballs chance the buyer is under 21. Living as close to MD and D.C. as I do, I should probably ask to see a Virginia Driver's license.
In the case of the FTF transaction I feel like I need to take a little responsibility to ensure I do not sell it to a nut job. The only method I know of available to me is to request to see a CCW permit. I personally would not be offended if a seller in a FTF transaction asked to see mine to get a good feeling. Of course not everyone has a CCW permit.
Are there any other methods available to me to ensure I'm not selling to a felon, or person otherwise ineligible to own a gun?
Am I being overly concerned?
