It's not the law but it's the process that happens. Besides, what's the big deal for the seller to not show their FAL ? A lot of folks bitch and moan about stolen firearms and criminals - this basic process is one simple way to help reduce the selling of stolen firearms.

Some people don't want to give out their address

Do you mean some sellers aren't keen to give out their address to another FAL owner ? Or do you mean they don't want to give out their address to the Police ?
