Time for Another BOS Rant

[Hoji]

Mods and Admins,

Can y’all just amend the rules to disallow ads requiring a BOS? Seriously, the amount personal information that some folks want to sell you their gun is just ludicrous as are the stated reasons for wanting your driver license number, home address , proof of criminal history, etc.

Ban BOS requirements and if seller wants to assuage any paranoia they can do the transfer through a FFL and the seller pays FFL fee for transfer.

I know, less than stellar rant on my part with no profanity. Sorry to disappoint.;(

Hoji, make sure you register this opinion with the state. It is currently registered in my name and I'm not sure it will get re-registered. lol

BTW, this is the mildest rant I think I've ever seen from you. You doing ok?

 

[Fishkiller]

I don't like a BOS either. But banning sales with BOS adds just cuz I don't like them leads down a path I do not want to follow. What's next ban sale of Glocks? Just ignore the BOS folks and move on.

I am lounging on PTO surrounded by about 250 pounds of chillin’ in the AC dogs. Hard to get the blood pressure boiling when surrounded by good dogs.

What possible benefit is there in a stranger having enough of your personal information to steal your identity or burglarize your home ?

Hoji, you must remember that a lot of people in Texas moved here from places where anti-gun politicians, bureaucrats, laws, and lawyers prevailed. In some states like NY and NJ, you must obtain a 'permit to purchase' which acts as vetting in their minds.
They have a real fear of being prosecuted or sued as the result of someone else's actions.

I quit reading ads that request more than a glance at my DL.

No. They need to leave that communist bullshit at the border.

Must the the FNG with 9 posts to his name.

Other than name, I don’t ask for other personal info. I see no harm in writing “I am buying gun, serial# from name”

Next let’s ban posts like this. Buy or sell as you wish as long as it’s legal.

Why? If you are that concerned just do the sale through an FFL.

I get a receipt for everything that I purchased, but that is just me. I’ll routinely show my license and LTC, if the other party will do the same. To each their own, but I have refused transactions to someone who was not 21, who was out of state etc

Has Hoji's account been hacked?

Do you reckon it actually sold, or do you think he got his jimmies rustled by folks in that thread and closed it?

BOS's give me gas. They are crappy.

Admins, I think Hoji has been hacked!! Please confirm: no profanity / wordsmithing appears in this post.

Seriously, with the absolute ease that @benenglish described his account being hacked with secure passwords, why would anyone give a complete stranger the unfettered ability to do so much worse.
Banning BOS would do nothing but add an extra layer of protection to the members here.
I have on a couple of occasions asked sellers that want a BOS “ for their protection” to do an FFL transfer on the firearm and all have declined to do so. Even on one occasion where I said I would pay the FFL fee.
That seems a little fishy.

You have read my posts, you know I only use profanity where it is in context and appropriate to describe whatever fuckery I am talking about and for being a high school dropout punk rocker, I am quite literate.
