The problem with your procedure is that it only furthers the "We all gots to have ID" attitude.
If someone wants ID, I won't buy from him. No hard feelings. You have your plan and I have mine.
We have been indoctrinated from birth with the idea that good people don't have anything to fear from the Government.
I don't hold with that theory. I go with the "What they don't know, won't hurt me" line of thinking.
The seller can ask me anything he likes. If he wants to know if I have any legal reaon I can't buy the gun, I'll be happy to answer. If he wants to see my ID...
First, I don't have any. I have a drivers license which is a drivers license. I haven't seen my SS card since 1972.
I have a General Assembly ID but he isn't with the Capitol Police and we wouldn't be doing that transaction on General Assembly Grounds.
Second, I don't show ID...period, unless there is what I consider a legitimate reason.
So no, you're not being an Ahole. We all have our priorities and everyone else should respect them. Not necessarily follow them, but certainly recognize the right.
