1. I never said I have a legal reason to have it. It is part of the sale, buy it or don't 2. I am not advocating stealing anyone's identity like you are. You just wanna teach me a lesson so bad.........
I have provided my ID to sellers when asked and have requested theirs in return. All with no issue. Psst, your PII is already out there. Name DOB and DL# are pretty easily found. No identity theft issues in all this time. Yet, someone used my wife's SSN to file taxes and it took 1.5 years to get that straighthen out. Funny how it was rectified quickly when I refused to pay for the following year.
I apologize for butting in.
The only issue I would worry about is a random person knowing where you live. Not saying it can’t be handled but IMO that’s invitation only dude. In this thread you did mention taking a cell pic of a buyers i.d and I understand what you’re saying but at the same time if a buyer doesn’t know you if he turns you down it may not be because he has something to hide. To him you could be a dangerous person or have a new address to look to see who’s not home. Just food for thought.
At least S20 could be a “little bit” amusing.

I get both sides. Personally, if I’m in the transaction, I’m going to use a BOS on either end (if I buy or sell).
My BOS goes into an envelope in my gun safe. It will only come out if there is an issue later.
If the other party won’t do business this way, we part ways. No hard feelings on my part.
If you are asking me “why?”, I’ll tell you “same reason I have a fire extinguisher in my kitchen...If shit gets hot for me, I want some protection. “
You guys who think you can judge a man by his looks are not flawless.

What protection does a BOS afford you?
I have never sold a gun where I required a BOS, but I will say that I did with a car and a pickup I had owned in the Northwest. Many places had cameras at lights to detect those going through red lights. A friend of mine went round and round with the city after selling a vehicle. The guy he sold it to ran a red light and it took quite awhile, since there was I believe 30 days for the other person to register the vehicle in his name. Not only was he fighting the fine, but his insurance caught wind of it too. After hearing about that I decided I wasn't taking that chance.
True and If he turned out he didn't want to show his ID, no biggie. The transaction just wouldn't take place. As for knowing my address, I have sold so much crap on CL where they pick it up at the house, lots of strangers have my address. Still never an issue.

Most of us don't judge, just follow the legal requirents.
Post All your requirements up front in your ad.
An attorney should be able to defend that pretty easy IF it came to that. You can also turn that around. What if you sold to a prohibited person and a LE comes back to you even if you didn't get an ID. You plan to lie to LE that you didn't sell the gun?

How did the red light company know to send it to him? Did he leave his plates on the car when he sold it?
Plates go with the car unless vanity.
