FTF gun sale tards

[AustinN4]

I can see a buyer wanting a BOS for insurance purposes, especially if it was something super expensive. But for a $300 M&P Shield or similar, no.

Didn't say I would give one, however.

That's a very good point. Those $300 guns can add up once you get a few BTW.

Used from a private seller.

C&R firearms, regardless of FTF or not have to be logged out of the FFL03 disposition book with all new address information included. Non C&R firearms can be handed over with cash in hand with no bill of sale or personal information being swapped in TEXAS and a few other states.

HOWEVER...

Personally, the seller has the right to profile a little and maybe be a little prejudice here. If the buyer looks like a POS or doesn't look to be a citizen, he or she can back out of the sale, or ask for ID for proof.

Through experience, especially living on a border town, I have run into a similar instance where a Facebook FTF buyer of a G17 didn't speak a word of English, and I recognized that his vehicle had Chihuahua plates. I asked if he was American, and he got upset, and he also had no ID... thus I backed out of the sale. He was PO'ed, but oh well.

...buyer doesn't have to be a US citizen. Legal permanent residents ("green card holders") are allowed to own, buy, sell, use guns also.

So now you know what most people think?

Go bite someone else's ankles.

 

[Sugar Land]

I can't expense without one

 

[Ozzman]

You are correct Kar98, however I would rather sell it to someone else and not have to mess with the ATF in the event something went sour. If it feels wrong... 99% of the time it is.

Thats perfectly acceptable. but if I offer to show you my CHL, and you still insist on FFL xfer or BOS. I'd rather walk away.

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

So do you require a receipt for a $300 grill? What about a $300 law mower? $300 chainsaw?

There's no legal reason for a receipt, and if that's a deal breaker for either party involved, it's their right to walk away.

We've already got a society full of stupid and useless rules, no need to add any more to the mix!

I have yet to sell any gun privately that I signed a 4473 for so I haven't asked anybody yet to sign a firearms bill of sale. We also got a society full of stupid and useless people so if the mere discussion of signed BOS, yay or nay gets you all ruffled up... man, some of y'all need to take a chill pill or at least reduce your caffeine intake.

Ok, gimme $300 for the gun and $20 for the holster

We get calls frequently...

This gun is registered in my name, how do I change it to someone else?

Does my BOS need to be notarized?

My standard answer....guns are not registered in anyone's name. No BOS is needed.

If they argue otherwise, I just ask why they called for my advice when they obviously have all the answers......

 

[Bithabus]

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.

Why do you want that documentation "for your records"? Why does it matter to you who bought your firearm?

 

[Savage20]

Maybe he is that guy that pushes yes when the gas pump asks if you want a receipt.
