Smile and a handshake? As long as you have no reason to believe the buyer is not a proper person, you're good to go.
If you both reside in the state, Doggydaddy has the right of it. I usually ask to see a d/l to confirm residency..
Are you posting it here in the classifieds? If so please disclose the fact that you require a bill of sale. That document carries no legal weight at all for buyer or seller, and will likely turn at least a few potential buyers away. But your gun, your terms.
Just be sure to tell folks up front they need to sign your form - it's more than a little annoying to meet up for a transaction, only to have the seller shove a surprise piece of paper in my face demanding a signature. It should go without saying that a move like that absolutely kills the deal for me and I'm sure a few others.

I always ask buyer to sign a BOS which states they are a resident of Indiana and that they are legally able to possess a firearm.
Granted there's nothing legally binding but it does show that I sold the firearm and that buyer stated that they could possess it. It may have turned some away from purchases but I've never not had a firearm not sell because of it.

Your additional actions may give you more liability than less…
More so than not providing proof of sale? Can you provide the reasoning?
This is what the verbiage is that I’ve used in the past, just wanted to make sure Indiana didn’t have something on the books I’ve missed. Frankly I’m mostly ok with cash and handshake, but any more people can’t settle disputes with conversation or at most fists, every ******* grabs a gun today.
A lot of us here do it this way. That is of course after "vetting" who we are dealing with by checking INGO post history and their classifieds trading feedback.
To each their own, but I'm not gonna sign anything. BOS or signing off on anything is not required for a legal private sale in Indiana.
I'll let you see my DL and LTCH to verify that I am a proper person, if you require, but not gonna let you record anything.
That said, I never say never, I could be bought into signing off on a half the value price.

This is the only way I'd agree to buy anything private sale. It's also how I sell firearms.

This is an amazing movie.
I've only seen memes from it. What movie is it?
Django Unchained.
The D is silent.
The older guy that asked if he could spell it, is the original Django.
