Private Handgun Sale

[Charlie]

And yet it is. No matter how much you disagree, it's what the law says. As long as you don't "reasonably believe" the buyer to be a prohibited person, you're good to go. Sorry if you really, really want more legal restrictions, we don't have them. Your personal beliefs don't change the legal requirements.

Absolute Truth, whether someone likes it, agrees with it, or not.

What you feel has no place in the laws reguarding selling a gun

Your username says it all SHADY........

just protect yourself reasonably. It's not all that complicated......no BOS required. Just be reasonable. We don't live in a communist state where registration of sales and ownership is required.

So you would sell a firearm to a 12 yo?

Selling to 12 yo is illegal in most cases, so no rules are made up.

Exactly.

If he looks 12, do not sell.

If he shows up in a car with CA plates and says it is 20 hr long drive back home, do not sell.

etc.

Otherwise cash/gun/elbow bump/done. No need for ID, BOS, etc.

THANK YOU......

Just be reasonable/responsible.

I think we agree in general that private sales are perfectly fine......BOS is a POS.....

Just be prudent.

Some folks will not accept the truth (law quoted, etc.). They are closed minded and set in their ways no matter what the state of Texas regulations are. We are not going to change their minds.

Cant wait for Universal Background Checks come to Texas, than we can avoid all this misinformation.

YES....we must become like reasonable states, and regulate everything......LOL

 

[Charlie]

No one yet on this forum now or in the past has ever quoted any of the laws that says a seller must determine the residency of the buyer. All a seller has to do is have no indication the buyer is not a Texas resident. I challenge the nay-sayers to quote me the law that says differently.

After reading this thread... I can safely say, " I picked a hell of a week to give up heroin"

[Shady]

and after 12 pages people still think you need to have proof someone is a resident is of age and is not a felon.

did you read the thread I made that clear a few pages back

 

[popsgarland]

LOL! Sorry Pops...there really ain't much difference there...

"What Is a Bill of Sale?
A bill of sale is a document that details in writing a sale of goods or transfer of property from one party to another. A bill of sale serves as legal evidence that full consideration has been provided in a transaction and that the seller has transferred the rights to the assets detailed in the bill of sale to the buyer."

Call it what you want. I have his name showing who I bought it from but he doesn't have my name as the buyer.

Its was a snarky mostly useless comment but...

Shows you tried to check on residency
Records who you transacted with without a BOS or recording of info that bother people.





And it's all as useless as the bill of sale.






And the video and audio recordings I make of all transactions since my phone crashed.






Just kidding.





My phone is perfectly fine.
