Hey trac, how would you feel if someone bought one of your guns at you're garage sale, then proceeded to shoot someone with it the next day? The gun would get traced back to you, which puts you in a world of hurt. Not to mention the guilty conscience I know I would have.
This is the reason I don't sell any guns out of the classified ads, I trade my guns at dealers. This way, if someone want's to buy my former gun, they are going through the background check. Just a personal policy of mine. I've also noticed lately that more and more private sellers at gun show's here are requiring the person to pass the background check, to me, this is a "save your ass" policy on their part, which I can understand.
Case in point, two weeks ago I bought a Universal M-1 Carbine from a private seller, he wanted the background check conducted, I said "no problem".
