"in the wrong"?

If it was reasonable for you to believe the person to be 18, then it would not be an illegal sale for YOU. However, I have never met a 14 year old who I believed was 18.

Make sure they are eligible (age, residency). There isn't really a great way to tell if they are a felon or not.

If you want to bring ink and paper into the transaction to CYA that's something you can do.
On a private sale, you don't have to "make sure" of anything. Federal law requires that you not "knowingly" sell the weapon to an ineligible person.

That puts no burden on you to verify anything.
