Does anyone wear a double condum when doing FTF deals?? Now THAT'S protection.....
Before I had an FFL, it was a BOS on every firearm sold and PPP for pistols. I don't remember anyone saying no.
Both the BOS and PPP show a good faith effort(not meant to be 100% accurate)on your side that you were trying to sell to a person legally able to buy such an item. While it may not hold up in court, either of those documents are going to be better than you saying, "he looked like a good person".

Please try the exercise I suggest in post #64. You’re concerned about answering a question in a situation that would never arise under our laws. And if you saw his PPP and drivers license why would you say just that “he looked like a good person.”
I personally ensure that I get a passport photo taken with the purchaser that includes them holding a current copy of the daily newspaper to ensure that we've accurately represented the date on the BOS that we fill out in triplicate in front of a justice of the peace.
There is no good answer, I gave my opinion like yours, both were free.
Having a PPP means that person was legit at the time to purchase a pistol, good enough for me. I no longer worry about it as a 4473 will be filled out..
You forgot the notary - legal documents should always be notarized.
He may have obtained the PPP last year and currently be awaiting sentencing for a spousal abuse conviction, and you just sold a pistol to a guy that is prohibited from buying it, then he uses to kill his wife. It happens, and when the police come knocking and you say, yeah I saw his PPP and drivers license, they say thank you and leave.
For you the 4473 is required as is retaining the PPP, so none of this applies to you unless you also sell guns personally.
And yes, there is a good answer, it is not a matter of opinions.
How many of you "purists" wear a condom over your condom?? You know, just in case...... You folks kill me, bitch about the laws we have and then go make up more on your own. Vote for HRC did ya??
Sadly, I am not aware of a definitive answer. The law was largely written nearly a century ago and does not address the question in a clear and complete manner. And I have not seen references to the published records of PPP prosecutions.
Without case law guidance to fill in the glaring holes in the statute, we are all doing nothing more than expressing our opinions.
However, the incidence of PPP prosecutions appears so rare that we probably don't need to worry about the issue nearly as much as we do.

You are more likely to find more prosecutions of sodomy, adultery, impotency, singing off key, elephants plowing cotton fields, 5 hour bingo games and serving alcohol at bingo which are all highly illegal in NC and carry similar penalties.
