[Younggun]

But you'll never know how far I'm shooting from.


Think I'll pick up a NIB Makarov in a couple weeks.

All that paranoia must be a heavy burden for some around here to carry. It's a receipt folks, nothing more nothing less.

 

[txinvestigator]

And then what.
You get a knock at your door...
May I help you officer?
A gun used in a crime has been traced to you...
Sorry officer, I sold that gun a while back
You didn't rob a liquor store last week? and leave the gun behind
No Sir...
Well ok then.

Fixed it...lol

I will sign those all day long. I won't let them copy my DL info though. All a BOS needs to hold up in court is the item, price, date, and signature. And that's all I will give them.

Hold up in court for what? A piece of paper means nothing. Perhaps if notarized.....

 

[txinvestigator]

Feelings about the situation aside, does anyone know if the fact that you are the last documented owner of a firearm committed in a crime counts as "probably cause" even if you do tell them you sold said firearm but have no documented proof of the sale?

The term is Probable Cause. No, lack of proof of sale of a firearm does not constitute PC for anything.

Documents can be forged.

Unless the police have direct evidence that YOU were involved in a crime there is no issue. You sell a gun last year, today it is recovered at a crime scene. A serial trace locates that you purchased it from an FFL. The cops ask you if you still have the gun and you tell them what you know. Unless there is some evidence linking YOU, then they continue the investigation. If your mother in law was the crime victim, or your wife's side dick was the victim, the investigation moves on....

I've signed 2 - both times I was buying a service weapon from a cop. Each of us wound up with a copy. His to show he'd sold it. Mine to prove I hadn't stolen it.

Unless you had it notarized, your little form proves nothing. What if he claims you stole it and forged the document?

Yeah, why someone would be so paranoid they think they need a worthless piece of paper to protect them I'll never know.

I have bills of sale for all of the firearms I've ever sold. They "prove" you bought all of them from me.

LOL

There's an easy solution to this. Just never sell a firearm.

That's only a 50% solution at best...you left out buying used firearms, which is what most of this threas is about.

Yes the same way a lot here think cops would knock on their door or get swatted, because they sold a firearm "Privately" without any paperwork or registration or receipt.

 

[oldag]

I'm not showing anything or signing anything, and I do not ask anyone else to do so. Not required by law.

 

[TheDan]

I'd sign a BOS for adjusting the price $100 in my favor.

I have yet to see anyone in this thread display that level of retardation. A BOS is not worth much in a criminal investigation. What is does do is give you documentation for your own personal records, the same as with ANY receipt. Nothing more, nothing less. People need to get over themselves and quit trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.

 

[Younggun]

Yeah, it's just a private sale. Quit making such a big deal out of it and asking for a BoS.

True, but that's not what most people requiring a BOS are thinking.

Quit making a big deal out of somebody wanting a BOS. It's a freaking piece of paper that has no power whatsoever, and your treating it like it's signing your soul over to the devil. If you don't want to sign one, that's perfectly fine. Nobody is making you sign one, and nobody here wants to make you sign one. If two people agree to do one, that is their business. Getting your panties in a wad over it is not going to change anything.

There's an easy solution there as well. Just don't buy from people who want a BOS.

And don't sell to people who pitch a tantrum over signing a receipt.

So now you know what most people think?
