I've not done a FTF private party firearm sale before, but when I bought my guns new, I filled out a form 4473 and they became registered to me. So I don't really like the thought of somebody buying my gun and doing who-knows-what with it, while it's still registered to me.
I guess FTF deals are legal, but I have no idea if this guy has Domestic Assault charges or is a felon.
Is it OK to insist on conducting the transaction at a FFL so they can run the NICS check, and transfer ownership to him? Or is that unheard of?
Below is the law I found on the ATF site:
A person may sell a firearm to an unlicensed resident of his State, if he does not know or have reasonable cause to believe the person is prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms under Federal law. A person may loan or rent a firearm to a resident of any State for temporary use for lawful sporting purposes, if he does not know or have reasonable cause to believe the person is prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms under Federal law. A person may sell or transfer a firearm to a licensee in any State. However, a firearm other than a curio or relic may not be transferred interstate to a licensed collector.
[18 U.S.C. 922(a)(3) and (5), 922(d), 27 CFR 478.29 and 478.30]
