And don't hang a bunch of pro 2nd ammendment bumper stickers on your car. It tells the thief to follow you to your house then wait for you to go to work - so they can break in and steal your stuff...
If you saw me in public it is highly unlikely you would suspect I carry a gun.
"I know the best place to look for a gun is in the glovebox of that pickup outside." (Remember that one?)

And how would a private seller know that?
Answer. - they can't.
When I worked at a gun shop - I sold several guns I owned at a gun show. I called BATF and asked if I could use the NICS system as a private seller.
Short answer - no fuckin' way.
....
My solution - to keep the problem children from buying my guns - I put a 4473 form on a stack of paper - giving the impression that I had a stack of 4473s - and was therefor a FFL dealer who woul6d do a NICS check on all buyers...
I can't say for sure it worked - but I did note a couple of shifty looking bastards lose interest when they saw the form....
