Not sure if this is the right sub-forum for this, but here goes:
Let's say you have a reasonably 'dangerous' weapon, ie. not a .22 bolt action single shot but say an AK or AR rifle that you want to sell. Certainly we have all seen that these guns in the wrong hands can result in tragedy.
Do you feel any sort of responsibility to get a background check on the individual you are selling to (provided you don't already know them) when dealing with a modern carbine or high capacity handgun?
I know the legal aspect in many places is face-to-face = no background check, and I respect the rights of people to conduct their business how they choose. I'm merely asking if any of you have felt a 'responsibility' above and beyond what the law requires?
I ask this because a close friend of mine just sold some of his guns, and his AK he wanted a background check on, while his .22 pistols he sold FTF.
Curious the forum's thoughts?
