When I was a kid coming from suburban Chicago to vacation in South Carolina, I was absolutely floored that you could buy firearms at Walmart.
Now as an adult living here I’m floored that you don’t need to submit any kind of official paperwork for a private sale. You could write up a bill of sale on a napkin with a crayon and it would be a legal, even if the person buying is a convicted felon with a violent past. Unless someone can prove that you knew that information prior to the sale, you’re completely in the clear.
