Oh... CRAP!! Sold Pistol Used In a Crime

[TheDan]

People wear many masks depending on who they want to see what features. In other words, people lie and deceive and many are far too good at it for most folks to see through their fake facade.

So what mask to you often wear?

These BOS threads make my head hurt.

Glad you aren't in prison because you have a paper trail. Well, that and the fact (I hope) that you didn't actually commit the crime......

I'm one of those very rare people who don't wear masks. Actually, I'm just a horrible liar so I never even try to lie.

Ha ha... nah. I'm pretty tame and honest. That's my story and I'm stinking of shit... I mean, sticking to it.

BTW, I've also sold guns to individuals who I trust. I won't be doing that ever again without a signed sales receipt.

Don't let fear and ignorance drive you into making bad choices. Bills of sale are only used by people who have no idea how the system works (thinking it will "protect" them), and people who like the idea of big brother bureaucracy watching over them. Don't be a dupe.

The police know it went to Academy because that's where the manufacturer shipped it. They ask Academy to pull the 4473 which leads them to the first purchaser. With no further paperwork, that's where the trail ends.

seem like common sense to smart folks like us, don't it ?

Been there done that. Got a call from Police wanting to return a gun I had traded at a gun show 10 years before. All they said was the legal proceedings were all over and did I want to come pick it up. I have this honest streak that made me tell them it wasn't mine. They withdrew the offer. Everybody was nice.
Got a visit from a Sheriff's deputy from nowhere near me. Wanted to arrest me for robbing a convenience store. They got me from the plates on my truck where it crashed in a ditch. I had traded it in a year before. Seems the dealership failed to change the title when they sold it. I had a paper trail on the truck that saved me a night in jail. My uncle sold a car and was arrested the next morning for robbing a bank. He did a morning in jail before they worked it out.

so lesson learned here for those afraid to sell without BOS... sell and buy awesome pistols, including the awesome Kahr PM9 series pistols from fellow forum members

That reminds me...
I need to try to remember the dozen of guns I've sold over my lifetime and go draw up some BOS's...
I'll use different ink and such.
Is Jethro a common name in Texas? I always wanted to sell a gun to someone named Jethro.
Then I'll be safe and can sleep at night.

but but but a BoS makes you immune to prosecution!

Passed on a buy because of another member's BOS requirement. Makes no sense at all when I whip out my CHL.

Re;: DL or CHL card - there's no way to verify it is eligible without running it. Status could be revoked or suspended.

I won't present a DL or CHL or sign a BOS for a firearm unless it's for a 4473. Some random Joe doesn't get to see my address or DL#.

Here's a question. if fair is fair for the buyer and seller CYAing, then the sale takes place at a local PD so the buyer can have the PD run the serial number for stolen. Would any of guys here as a seller allow that?

 

[Savage20]

No because it's a waste of my time. Maybe for $100 extra
