8 of your 9 posts are singing the praises of universal background checks.
Innocent people have been financially ruined proving their innocence.
All I can say is that someone who insists on a "off the books" transaction gives ME a good reason not to sell to them. To each their own....
My question is that would you use a dealers services if he offered a relatively low cost service $10.00 to facilitate a transfer for "peace of mind"?

Yeah, lots of bravado here... I would rather give myself some protection. If the buyer wants an off the books transfer, I have good reason to look for another.
AlexanderA said:Background checks for sales between private individuals, at gun shows or elsewhere, should be voluntary. But there should be a mechanism for doing this at little or no cost, something along the lines of Sen. Coburn's proposal for free checks over the Internet. The incentive for using such a system? Immunity from civil liability if the gun is later misused.

Didn't sing any praises. I just prefer to make sure my firearms go to a person that isn't prohibited.Now that's interesting, isn't it?
Not even a NICS background check on the buyer guarantees that.Didn't sing any praises. I just prefer to make sure my firearms go to a person that isn't prohibited.
Absolutely not.
The best thing about a FTF sale is the gun's paper trail ends.

Unless you are a Crack dealer, or some such, what do you need "protection from"?
It makes my day when I end the paper trail on a gun.
No it doesn't guarantee it, but I have done all that I can do to make sure it's a legal sale.Not even a NICS background check on the buyer guarantees that.

No you don't need a background check for it to be legal, but it raises the odds.You don't need a background check for the sale to be legal.
Which is as it should be.

A legal sale is a legal sale. It doesn't become more-legal because you opted to involve the federal government in your transaction.
