What do you usually do when selling?

Thanks

Do what makes you comfortable. The law states that you may not sell to anyone you believe may not legally possess a firearm. So if you know the person is a felon or drug user or not a US Citizen etc... all of the usual cases. You can't sell to them.

Otherwise if you want a bill of sale or view their LTC or DL then do it. I have sold firearms to people I have known for a long time no questions asked. Others I have required an LTC and a BOS
I think many US legal permanent residents (I.e. green card holders) would be unnecessarily excluded if one only would sell to a US citizen. There is no federal or Texas law to that effect.
Scott,

You are correct sir. I meant Legal TX resident and typed US Citizen. Was thinking about another post with election fraud and used the wrong class. I have a good friend who is a green card holder with his Texas LTC. Thanks.
