Every person does the best they can to determine a proper person when selling.
The LTCH is not a guarantee. 1,000s of posts here is not a guarantee, no one has ever joined a forum and posted what they need to to fit in, right?
I have seen ads on other forums asking to see a recent receipt for a firearm purchase, I guess to get around the "has LTCH, but committed bad acts since" folks.
The person asking a buyer to meet at a gun store to do the 4473 there may be surprised, I hope he verified their policies first. I checked on this before making my first private sale and could not find a store in my area willing to do that. I did not check with any small FFLs. I was told FFLs are not obligated to do a check on a private sale and would not waste their time. The manager I talked to at one store actually thought it funny that I would ask them to lose a potential sale so I could sell my gun. I did some more reading on the subject and found I was being overly cautious.
Each buyer satisfies their own standards to feel comfortable selling a gun. No big deal, because each buyer sets their own standards for the conditions they'll meet when buying. It's nice we have that freedom left.
