Reply #19: I would also like to use the NICS background check when I sell my personal firearams...

[spin]

currently I use an approach similar to yours as I only sell firearms to people I know personally and who have a concealed weapons permit. Fortunately, I rarely sell any of my firearms as every time I do, I end up regretting it.

I personally would not be opposed to going to a gun dealer and having him run the background check on a potential buyer before the sale was complete. Of course, I would expect a REASONABLE fee to be charged for the dealer's time. If nothing else, the transaction could be completed in the dealers store rather than my house.

The same requirement could be made at gun shows for sales between private individuals.

While some gun owners would oppose any restriction on their right to sell their personal property, I feel most responsible owners would not object. The cost of the background check would be passed along to the buyer anyhow.
