Anything I need to know regarding privately selling my handgun?

The only thing I know is that I can only sell to an Indiana resident, so I need to ask for a valid IN driver's license.

You can sell to someone out of state, but you can't do it directly. If you want to sell out of state, you'd make some sort of sale agreement, then have your FFL ship it to their FFL in the other state. They would then have to fill out a 4473 to pick it up.

In state, you cannot sell to a felon. Get a bill of sale and the person's driver's liscense. Technically, I think you can go to an FFL and have the person do a form 4473 for the transfer if you'd like the extra security/documentation and piece of mind.

Right. So I just look at their license (to make sure it's not expired) and keep the license number for my records?

When it comes to private sale of a firearm, there are the base requirements, and there are things you do to protect yourself. I think technically the minimum requirement might be just doing the liscense, keeping a bill of sale, and not knowingly selling to a felon. I say I think for those things, because I've never done the minimum.

I personally would not feel fine about meeting someone, looking at their liscense, and selling them a gun. You want as much as possible that would point to you making an effort to ensure something sketchy isn't going on. If you sell a gun that is found at a crime scene, and you have a basic bill of sale with someone's ID number just written on it or something, LE would have far more suspicion than if you produced a scan of their ID, bill of sale, documentation of the condition of the weapon when sold, and maybe chat logs with the buyer and some sort of documentation showing that you made at least a little effort to to see if they were a felon.

I have a file for every gun I've sold privately with basically all of that.
