There sure is a tough bunch around these parts. SMH....
Geez.........
What a rookie. He should have asked for three reference and a note from his mother!
I remember another post where a grown man couldn't keep his Springer XD because his mom said no
Personally, if the ATF knocks on my door, I want to be able to prove that I completed my due diligence as a seller or buyer. That takes a single piece of paper and some identifying information though video taping the transaction seems extreme. Frankly, I think I would have walked at that request.
The being said, I did recently make a purchase from a forum member and forgot to bring a bill of sale and am still able to sleep at night...I did write down his name and address from his driver's license for my records.
We are just one Democratic majority away from losing the ability to complete a private transfer of a firearm without a background check. Please buy and sell responsibly.

Here's the problem, by going above and beyond what the law requires for butt cover could also be construed as doubt whether you thought the buyer was indeed a proper person able to purchase.
Another angle on this is keeping written records on what is suppose to be a hobby puts you dangerously close to a business.
You are the one in charge here !
I understand your sentiment, but would point out that you are only liable for doing what you are legally required to do, specifically verifying that the buyer is a legal resident of the state and having no reason to believe the person is not legally allowed to buy a gun. The law here is very much a 'don't ask, don't tell' sort of thing in practice. That said, what makes you feel comfortable is your business.
The only reason for Bill of sale was to prove it was sold. I had been on many forums that said it was a good idea. The dash cam was in case something went bad. Yes I am paranoid.
