Guess you didn't sell many guns before 1995 huh?
I hardly ever sell any guns. In fact, the only one I've sold in the last 35 years or so was a S&W Sigma 380. I didn't like it, so I traded it to a dealer in RI (when I lived there) for a nice 357 mag 686.

I do not have any desire to sell any of the guns I currently own. So any talk about sales is purely hypothetical. But say in some unforseen circumstance where I became (very) desperate for money and was forced to sell one, I would only sell it to either a family member or a TX CHL.

Every so often, I buy another gun. When I kick the bucket, my son will add whatever I've accumulated to his collection.

Due to the fact that I have no way of knowing whether or not someone is a prohibited person, my own policy is that I will only sell a gun to someone who has a CHL.

I understand that this goes far beyond the requirements of either TX or federal law. I just feel more comfortable doing it that way.

I would probably make an exception for a family member or someone that I knew for a long time (many years).
