They don't get mine but if I can't get there's it's no deal, if they use that weapon in a crime and the feds knock on my door, I have something to prove I sold it and to whom.

OK, instead of really rehashing the whole argument (and wow, double standard much? They don't get yours, but you demand theirs?) I invite you to peruse the many times this shit has been brought up.
Would you EVER sign a bill of sale?
Found what appears to be a very nice deal on a firearm but the seller is adamant, as in zero wiggle room, on a BOS. Mind you this is not a 75% or 50% off MSRP deal, but it is a good deal. Is there a point at which a deal is worth you completing a BOS?
After All The Discussions about Bill of Sale There Are......
Still many people, Not Locally but on This fourm that are Requiring a BOS when buying their firearm. I just dont the reasoning in it that they would still want this. It has been outlined in so many ways why its not a good idea and geez, if its not required why do it. We as citizens are...
Bill of sale?!?!
Hello everyone, I am a officially a gun owner as of yesterday. I purchased the weapon through a F2F transaction, and it was simple give and go, the seller didn't even bother to shake my hand. Anyways, I have read various forums, websites, and gov websites about buying/selling a gun, a bill of...
Where to obtain Texas Firearm Bill of Sale
Where can I download the official Texas Firearm Bill of Sale? I've Googled and can only find unofficial versions. I want to make sure I do this right. Thanks.
More On How Having A Bill Of Sale Will Screw You
So I have been reading up on the Abramski Case. Guess how he got caught? Yep he had a Bill Of Sale. Details: A former state police officer, Abramski got caught up — mistakenly – in a federal investigation of a bank robbery in Rocky Mount in 2009, apparently because he was said to look like...
Bill of sale?
So I have seen lots of people require a bill of sale. And I've seen lots of people say they are stupid and cannot stand them. What's the deal?
Private Handgun Purchase Bill Of Sale
Hello! Have a question in regards to selling a handgun face to face. Done some research with threads below. https://www.texasguntalk.com/threads/how-to-sell-a-gun-in-texas-private-sales-face-to-face-transfer-and-other-options.7685/ https://www.texasguntalk.com/threads/bill-of-sale.47447/ My...
A Message to the Church of Bill of Sale
Why, instead of going through all of the paperwork that is not required and can ONLY serve to get you sodomized in prison if a criminal case arises from it, don’t you just transfer the damned gun through an FFL? You consistently drone on about “muh protections” but truly the best way to do...
Another Bill of Sale Thread( With a Twist)
Pulled this from another site. If you were on the fence about BoS, here is a good reason to be very leery of them.
Texas Bill of Sale (BOS)
Bill of Sale (BOS) or Not? Before I get pelted with eggs and raw vegetables I am trying to understand the hatred for BOS. Trust me, I wish we lived in a society where we all went to church on Sunday, said grace before we ate, said what we meant and meant what we say but the reality is we live...
Freaking Out about Bill of Sale
I noticed forum members freaking out about requiring a Texas Bill of Sale when listing a gun for sale. I understand it's nice to not have any paperwork on a private sale, but if the gun is registered in your name how do you protect yourself in the event something happens? Just curious.
Bill of Sale definitely DEAD.
Thanks to the actions of the ATF you may soon become a criminal (again) especially if you use a Bill of Sale for a private transaction. These astute lawyers tell you why you should not use a BOS or have price listed. If you insist on paperwork with a private gun sale I have made a portable...
A bill of sale does not protect you in any way shape or form. What it does is open you up to liability and potentially prosecution by the ATF as they make their interpretation of "firearms dealer" more and more geared toward "gotchas" to snag private sellers.
If you insist on having a record of the sale, go through a damn FFL and they'll keep a 4473 on file "should such a need arise".
Now, you've got some reading to do.

Guaranteed. I just searched for threads with "Bill of Sale" in the title. And even left a couple of them off the list that resulted.
How 'bout them Billls of Sale?!? The subject is getting to be like the Song That Can't Be Played in a guitar shop. Play the first five notes of that shit and you're immediately shown the door.View attachment 429787

Ted's been around long enough to have seen all of those threads. Now maybe he'll read them and be educated.
