I just ran a quick search (LexisNexis) on TN, SC, and GA. Interestingly, GA has a provision that prohibits insurance companies from excluding or denying coverage based on a person's or a person's family's lawful ownership or carrying of firearms. That tidbit aside, I see nothing in any of the codes for any of those states that requires a seller to request ID.

I've heard a buyer state his intentions when buying a gun ("I've been looking for a new turkey gun," for example). I might even discuss my intentions along those lines with a potential seller, but I can also see getting creeped out by the question, depending on how it came up in the conversation.
