Bingo!!
I had a guy at a local show try to talk me down to nothing on a crappy old Yugo SKS. We finally agreed on the price, but I informed him that I have a 03 license and would need his name, age, address, and DL.. He backed out so fast it made my head spin..

My Dad and I have a table at this show every year to pawn off knives and such, and I also tend to sell a few of the "less than desireables" in my collection, and end up taking home as many to fill the spaces they leave..

Anyway, other than needing the info for my bound book on these C & R eligible guns, it wasn't any different than any typical private gun sale.

I don't know the UTAH laws, but I know the laws there are pretty open on guns. I'd guess that a private sale doesn't require much..

Here in IL, where we're VERY restricted, all we have to do for a private sale is verify that the buyer is legal to own, and record the sale (name/address/age/etc.) and keep that info for a few years. I can't remember if it's 3 or 5 years, and the info's in my wallet and I'm not getting up to check.

If all else fails call your local police, or ask at a gun dealership.. Remember, the typical guy at a dealership on either side of the counter will know more about it than the police, unless the police officer is a gun nut too..
