    Yes it is legal.

    All they do is a background check on both the seller and buyer before a transaction is made, Keep a digital copy of the sales "receipt", sale and buy dates etc.

    Forgot to add that both seller and buyer must be from the same state.

    Now are you stupid enough to hand over all of your personal information to someone that filed for bankruptcy in the state of Utah in 2015?

    Their service is for the ignorant.. Arms L-ist is teamed up with them if that tells you anything.

    WV also has legal face to face no BG check transactions. Where you must use caution with that is. If you sale a gun registered to you that ends up at a crime scene... The PO boys will come knocking on your door.

    Which is the precise purpose of them offering you a background check.

    Since your state won't perform a check on private sales and protect the seller from possible criminal and civil penalties if the buyer proves to be a bad guy, they will do it (for a fee). This will give you peace of mind the next time you sell a gun to someone you don't know.

    It is a solution to an non existent problem, which will probably make them some money.

    Some states do require a NICS equivalent for person to person sales. However it is the same price as most FFLs that offer that service. I wonder how much traffic it will see.

    This service is for those who live in a state (same state residence) that allows "paperless" transactions - private party sales. It doesn't take the place of state laws that require private sellers to go through an FFL and NCIS check.

    I think this has value, maybe not quite in the way it's intended. Or maybe that is the intent.

    NV residents just passed UBC checks via state referendum, passed by less that .5% vote. What if gun rights groups had been able to put up adverts, written just right to persuade, which suggested private gun sales were already being done with "background checks"? Consider the average voter, think this might have made .5% say "don't need it, already got it"?
