Would it be too much trouble to read the actual laws rather than take the “opinions” from the Internet?

TRANSFERS OF FIREARMS BY PRIVATE SELLERS
An unlicensed individual may transfer a firearm to another unlicensed individual residing in the same State, provided that he or she has no reason to believe the buyer is prohibited by law from possessing firearms.
For a list of categories prohibiting a person from possessing a firearm, please refer to 18 U.S.C. 922(g) and (n).
An unlicensed individual is prohibited from directly transferring a firearm to a person residing in another State.
Regardless of the purpose of the transfer (e.g. gift, trade, loan, sale, ownership, etc.), this restriction applies to all types of firearms.
An unlicensed individual may complete a transfer to an out-of-State person through the following procedure:
• The unlicensed individual transfers the firearm to a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) located in the State of the person receiving the firearm.
• The FFL will transfer the firearm to the unlicensed out-of-State person.
• The FFL will be responsible for lawfully transferring the firearm.
An unlicensed individual may transfer firearms directly to FFLs operating in any State.
Under Federal law, there is no recordkeeping requirement pertaining to the transfer of a firearm between two unlicensed individuals.
There may exist State or local laws that pertain to the transfer, including registration requirements. Contact the appropriate State agency for information regarding such requirements.
TRANSACTION ALTERNATIVES FOR PRIVATE SELLERS
(*Please remember, these are not requirements, but may prove beneficial to both you and law enforcement)
For private sellers wanting assurance that other private individuals are not prohibited from possessing firearms, we encourage you to consider the following options:
• Transfer the firearm to the private individual through an FFL. The FFL will be responsible for conducting a background check on the person acquiring the firearm. The FFL will complete the required paperwork,
OR
• If you decide not to utilize the services of an FFL, examine the purchaser’s identification document to confirm that the person is a resident of your State.
These are the reasons we ask to see someone's Identification for the state of Georgia to do our Due Diligence.

Huh...
Happened the other day. Guy I’d never dealt with showed up with a drive out tag and I asked for DL. All he had was from out of state. Said he just moved back. No go for me. Of course he proceeded to text me what a jerk I was for not selling to him.
You had reasonable suspicion with the out of state tag. If you got a GA tag I’m assuming, within reason, that you’re from GA and not asking for anything else
That’s the “knowingly transfer” side of things
It just does.
So, i reckon if I come down from New York and rent a car with a Georgia tag, I’m good to go??
