Buying and Selling in Texas?

[Fishkiller]

You aint from round these parts are you? What the HELL is a firearms transfer form?

Different term for BOS.

 

[TreyG-20]

Never, regardless of who you sell to or buy from, never complete a transaction without at least a firearms transfer form.

This advice is as good as "transfer form". Worthless.

Spreadsheet updated.

Talking about having a BOS when selling a gun. A damn good way to get tarred and feathered, then run out of town in Texas!

Never, regardless of who you sell to or buy from, never complete a transaction without at least a firearms transfer form.

This is also great advice if you're selling knives, baseball bats, pointy sticks, or plastic bags which might cause suffocation.

Give a noob a break, guys.

Hank, you should search the forum for discussions about how private party transfers are done in Texas. There will be a lot of off-topic joshing to ignore but if you persist you'll find the case for not keeping records is solid.

My FFL gives a $5 discount off his fees if you have a Texas LTC. Another good reason to have a Texas LTC is reciprocity gun permit laws with other states.

Never, regardless of who you sell to or buy from, never complete a transaction without at least a firearms transfer form.

We have documented for years with multiple examples completely anonymous transfers with no records provides the best protection for both parties.

Stop poking that bear with that stick. As a matter of fact, put down that stick and step away.

Another fool for the ignore list.

Give him a break, he is new here.

How many times does this BS have to be repeated? If you are selling to someone, if you have no reason to believe they cannot own a firearm, and they are a Texas resident, you can take the money and give that person the gun.

So simple, even children can understand this!

New members just ask, and that's OK as it saves a lot of searching.

Seems like it makes it easier for some to also update their spreadsheets!

Well he has been here since January 2020. That's a year and a half. Not that new.

Or have a reason to create one.

If one has a Texas LTC you dont have a background check to endure. SO 5 bucks on "fees"? ummmm

That is why he gives $5 off, he does not have to call it in. Lots of FFLs do this, I hate calling NICS too.

Why do you call them instead of doing the online nics check?

That sucks too, and is slower.

If the 4473 was online with an auto NICS check, that would be the best option short of repealing NICS.
