The last couple of gun shows I've done, I've noticed a trend. For every gun I sell, I get at least one person that says something along the lines of "Oh! You're a dealer. I don't want to fill out any paperwork."

So now I'm curious how people here rate on the "tin-foil hat scale". Not that I don't understand the desire for "paper-less" guns. It's just frustrating for me as a dealer sometimes.

Feel free to weigh-in. I would like input from both sides of the spectrum.

No dealer and no taxes.

It doesn't matter to me. I buy most of my stuff new from dealers. The real question is, would you pay more for the same gun if it didn't have paperwork.

My dad is one of those guys that will pay more than what a gun is worth to buy it without paperwork.... and then never shoot it.
