Beat him down on the price and give him the money. My dad was a car salesman so that quote made me laugh. Ima Texan and is Texas its hand him the cash and get the gun. It's my right. I do a lot of gun deals. It's easy to tell by looking at me I am old enough. If the seller or buyer wants a copy of my license or right down my DL number I walk away. Your answer is give him the cash and take the gun. There is no register firearms in Texas or put the gun in your name stuff.
I once drank muddy water out of a hoof print and was dang glad to get it.

I don't let people write down my DL or CHL, but willing to show someone I have my CHL.

All the above answers are mostly true and correct. Texas is a firearm loving state. With that here are my own personal points on firearms sales, granted from my take on working firearms cases..............
1) Not all people are bad and legitimate sales are out there
2) Some people are bad and sale hot/stolen firearms. Some on a regular basis.
3) Firearms traces reveal the original owner and sometime he/she offers an insight on who they sold it to or they didn't have the serial number and it is stolen etc, though not entered TCIC/NCIC
4) I have seized numerous firearms from individuals, felons, pawn shops etc. Sometimes that name they were able to give me saved them in the long run. Money, jail time etc.
I sure don't have a "definitive answer" just use what you think is good knowledge. As stated above no paper work etc is needed. But I have seen good, honest people get in a jam over firearms. I haven't bought a firearm in a while and my last one was new so I did have to do the 4473. Best of luck.
