Bill of sale and copy of driver’s license might help , a copy for buyer and for seller!
Same.No receipt or record for me. It isn't required by law and I'm not worried about a firearm I've owned ending up being used in a crime. Even if it were it's gonna be pretty tricky to gather the necessary remaining evidence to convince anyone to issue an arrest warrant, let alone go to trial.
I see no problem asking to see an Indiana ID and Handgun License but I don't record anything.
Yeah that's like inviting strangers over to steal your stuff. NopeYou would let someone copy your DL???
Not me...

I got my answer, pretty much if I buy with FFL transfer, IÂ’m selling with FFL. Then IÂ’ve been thinking about selling here in Delaware county weÂ’re having a big spike in the current Covid cases. So if a transaction is face to face done showing ID and we are both wearing masks. Also we have to wear them all day at work for last couple months and at times even now it can be difficult to communicate let alone verifying if a person is the one matching the ID.
Should info be transferred with sale of firearm? Know basic indiana laws on sales. Was seeking consul from Ingo on whether or not to transfer info. This day and age with so many ways for Identity theft to take place. How and why is the best way.
Like Churchmouse said, the devil's in details.
Selling privately without an FFL? You betcha. A least if you're running a transfer through an FFL, you'll have CYA paperwork, but when I've sold privately, I use a Bill of Sale I found online.
Heaven forbid the gun is used in a crime, or stolen from the buyer and used in a crime, and the last paper record is from the time you bought it.
Unless, of course, there was no paperwork, text messages, emails that changed hands when you bought it in the first place - if so, no bother.
If the buyer has an issue with the record, that would raise a flag with me.
...I've found that people who're willing to do a receipt tend to be more on the honest and upright side of life, and those who refuse, the opposite...
My daughter sold a gun a few years ago and that gun was used in a crime. The police contacted me , because I was on her contact list when she was in the hospital, and asked me to have her contact them, because her number had changed. She does so and all they wanted was to know if she wanted her gun back.
It is a crazy world we live in.

ID theft is a serious concern. Like you said in hands of the right person
What's wrong with just a handshake?
