Not me - there's no legal standing to demand a BOS on a private sale, period.

I think it would be easier to pass open carry than to get the BoS idea to wither and die.

True - unfortunately, we have our share of idiots on this site even that think's it's a "good idea". I've passed on even makin' an offer on more'n one gun here because of that stupidity!!

More so the mentality that people think the bill of sale will "save you" or makes the sale official.

It's only official if you wear your BOS Badge.

If you think that a BOS provides you ANY measure of "protection", or somehow "validates" a sale....then yeah - gotta ask how that shoe's fittin'.

Tell me - what LEGAL "protection" does it provide.....and who told you that??

I'm curious as to why this is the only forum that suggests a BOS is worthless. Is it just a Texas thing?

This isn't "the forum." This arguement has supporters from both sides. I'm curious as to why, if you do, believe a bill of sale can protect you? There is no attorney involved, no defined defense to prosecution, or an official standard between a private seller and buyer.

Kindly provide a link to a gun forum discussion with knowledgeable folks where they advocate BOS's....

 

[Dawico]

So did anyone ever find out what happened to gunrustlers?

 

[ChunkyMonkey]

No, but we found out that apparently TGT has the image of being the ONLY forum to talk down on BOS as a stance of the forum, lol.

I can believe it. We do it every time someone mentions a private sale.

Only if they demand a BOS.....<G>

i sold a pistol not long on there. checked ID's, both of us confirmed we are not criminals, and are legally able to purchase, own and transport a firearm lol and went on our way....well he calls me 2 days later, demanding a bill of sale? saying he does not want to get pulled over and get arrested? I kindly tell him, it is not stolen, i purchased it ftf from a LEO(which I did) and that even a bill of sale will mean nothing since I am not the original owner, and there is no firearm registration. he asked for me to email his a faxed copy of a BOS. i said ok send me your info and i will, but with none of my living info, just my ID number and name. he never sent me his email.....

Wow. Where do people get these crazy ideas?

 

[bertizzie89]

he kept saying he did not want to be arrested when they asked for papers on the gun if pulled over?? i said what papers? the manuals? lol for some reason he could not understand that there is no registration in texas!

 

[bertizzie89]

SanAntonio : 2 Many Glocks : Pistols if you read you will see he says he will check to make sure you are eligible? hes posting under individual sale, not business? how would one even check that! might as well buy it from a shop used, for less than that! sometimes i wonder what they are thinking. Ive purchased a gun or two off gun trader, but its usually a very good deal or trade, if not id rather deal with a shop, especially with the bill of sale bieng mandatory for some of these sellers. granted if it is a good deal, and the guy seems pretty cool, sure i wont mind doing a bill of sale. im just not a fan of certain people knowing where i lay my head, makes me a bit uneasy with some types, but i guess thats why i have my safe.....

I don't think the BOSBS will die until you get TexasGunTrader to stop pushing them.

 

[A.Texas.Yankee]

I searched for why BOS is worthless and ONLY TGTALK came up after a few pages of searches and different wording. That's why I am curious. I don't trust a forum for any real legal advice, but was curious why if it is such a big deal than why hasn't that sentiment spread? It would seem that would need to be spread right?
