Private Sale: Odessa Shooter

[avvidclif]

Since when did private sales become illegal in the state of Texas?

Also seems presumptuous to declare the POS murderer obtained the firearm through a private sale. Could have stolen it. Could have purchased a stolen firearm that’s been washed a couple of times.

Unless of course there’s a bill of sale provided by the seller. Even then, it’s not illegal to sell a firearm to a prohibited person in Texas; it’s illegal for the prohibited person to possess it.

The only exception I’m aware of is if the seller is aware of the purchaser/transferee’s status as a prohibited person.

Au Contrare. It is a violation if you sell a firearm to a felon AND you knew he was a felon. Don't ask, don't tell

Not again.....

No. He could be an out of state resident, for example. not all "prohibited persons" are felons

Somebody just link an old thread up in here and let’s be done with it.

Pardon me, I used "felon" instead of "Prohibited" person. Again, don't ask.

Impossible. We have laws making it ILLEGAL to steal. So it just never happens. At least we can rule THAT out.

Maybe they found a BOS. XD

I sold a NIB S&W Shield to one of my best friends awhile back. I still typed up a bill of sale that he signed and I tossed it in the safe. It makes everything official, everyone feels better and it's just good policy.

OH now you did it.

Yes. You were wrong, he was right.

 

[SQLGeek]

It's time for our quarterly BOS thread anyway.

 

[Bithabus]

Yes, correct.

Please search the forum for "BOS" and "bill of sale". I dont have the energy to rehash it with you here.

To summarize: You "feel" a certain way but if you investigate the facts you will realize your feelings have betrayed you.

Aw, you’re no fun.

Its not like he's going to listen

(Notice that I flip flopped from my previous ‘just link the thread’ comment to now nagging posters for not being willing to discuss the topic here extensively. That’s because I’m a woman and I’m allowed to flip flop like that)

ATF said he failed NICS. NICS does not get called if you answer yes.

Ok. I have yet to see that officially attributed though. If you have, I’d like to see the source.
