I have never done anything illegal in my life.
May I but touch the hem of your robe?
Not impossible for me. Before FTFs became illegal here in COmmierado, I did not feel it was my job to question a person's eligibility --that they should know this on their own. However, if things "looked" (don't ask me to define this) squirrely, I'd wriggle my way out of the sale... "My brother wanted it, so I had to give it to him. Sorry about that." A grey lie, I guess.
One of the problems with this question is that there's a whole raft of things which would make one a prohibited person besides a felony
per se and a person might legitimately not realize that they were actually prohibited.
I wondered on a forum recently how many newbies might have discovered this when buying a gun. Hopefully, it might change their minds about the oppressive laws regarding firearms and their transfer and they become "woke" to that.

PS. Something not considered so far:
Well, this may muddy the waters a little more, but the first gun I bought in Colorado, and several after that, all I had to do was show my driver's license to prove I was a Colorado resident.
Let's not forget that some of us have been around longer than 1968 and the further "improvements" on GCA 68. Thus, to some of us, buying and selling guns was
not a big cotton-picking deal. Rather like buying a shovel. You pays yer money and you takes it home with you.
