Handgun transfer question

Does a Georgia resident have any obligation to determine whether a seller is also a resident?

Good question. It's a requirement for a legal sale, but are the buyer or seller liable to verify, not easy to do.

I'd pay the $100 and get on with a legal transfer.

A private citizen has no obligation to do anything in regard to the saleof a firearm.

However, it it illegal for the citizen to sell a gun of any sort to someone he "has reason to know" is disqualified from making the purchase. "Reason to know" is one of the ambiguous terms that means what ATF says it means, because it is so fact specific.
