I sold a handgun to someone in Arkansas last week and received a signed in ink copy of his dealer's FFL. I offered to either overnight the pistol to his FFL, or have my FFL send it three day UPS (same price to me). He said his FFL said it didn't matter, so go ahead and send it overnight myself.
Yesterday I sent the pistol via overnight FedEx to his FFL. Well, he got the gun this morning. I came home this afternoon to find a message on my machine from the buyer that the FFL needs my social security number to input into his bound book. Well, in the last few dozen out of state firearms transactions that I've done I've never given my social security number, nor had to get the seller's SSN either. So I called him to let him know that I wasn't going to give him my SSN and I didn't think he needed it. Well, he says that he has to have it and I've already broken federal law by shipping the gun to him without having an FFL myself. In fact, if I don't give him my SSN, he's going to contact the ATF and get my *** into deep ****. I tell him to go ahead and he hangs up.
Well, am I out of line here?? Is he just misinformed?? Should I just forget it or contact the ATF myself to complain?
