“Peek at CCW”

If GA law says that you have to be a resident of Georgia to buy and sell a weapon to somebody else in Georgia, how come there is not much grief when somebody asks you to show a license to prove you are a Georgia resident?

Over time those threads have evolved into the CCW bitchin' threads.

maybe it’s because a proof or record does not need to be obtained as evidence?
In other words Ga law doesn’t require a seller to gain proof ( not to my knowledge anyway)

I simply ask 3 questions.. and anyone who has met me can tell you I ask all 3 questions..
1. are you a Ga resident?
2. are you over 18?
3. are you legally able to own a gun?
If they answer yes to all 3 questions, I hand them their new gun..

to my knowledge Ga doesn’t require a seller to collect “proof” of any of those 3 things..
 
Out of curiosity… Why do people still ask for a CCW when looking to sale/trade now that it really isn’t required? I get that it may be reassurance to the trader that I’m a good citizen but why? Is it something that the OGs of OTD have always done and just never stopped? Should I start doing it? 🤷🏼‍♂️
It was never required for anything.
 
You're kidding! Lmao

I've been on ODT for over a decade and have never once had someone actually ask to see my CCW, that I can recall.
I had a guy ask to see my weapons license. He was a former DEA agent. Showed me his ID as well. It was noted in the ad but I must have missed that part initially.

Funny thing is, turns out he was stealing guns from his employer and selling them here. The Newton Co Sheriff called me about one of those guns I bought from him.

So, someone tell me how much that Bill O’ Sail, background check, Georgia ID, or whatever BS you want to see protects me, or you? Crooks gonna crook no matter what.
