I'm posting this after reading about the trouble PlayboyPenguin is having with a transaction (http://www.northwestfirearms.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20884).
I'm hoping to compile a list of questions that buyers/sellers should ask before proceeding with a transfer. I don't have much experience myself, but maybe everyone can chime in and we can save each other from some headaches. If I or someone get real ambitious, it could eventually be worked into a flow chart with paths for buying/selling/gifting, handguns/long guns, ftf, shipping, intrastate, interstate, etc.
Neither NWFA, nor any contributor to the list, should be held responsible should you use the checklist and anything goes wrong. To be certain, you will need to check with the laws in each jurisdiction to make sure that this information is accurate for that locality, as well as within federal restrictions.
-The big one that comes up from PP's troubles is: "If shipping to a FFL, do you have written documentation that the receiving FFL will accept firearms from a private individual?"
-Another that comes to mind: "Do you have any reason to believe the buyer is not legally able to receive or possess the firearm?"
Others?
