Carl, I would not even ask you to stand on your head if your wanted to buy a gun from me.

The law does not require I get a copy of a DL on a private sale. So I don't. In addition, I don't have to prove my innocence. The law is required to prove my guilt. Like I have said a couple times. I believe in constitutional RKBA. I won't add additional restrictions to that right beyond what is law. I don't believe it is a privilege to own a firearm so I refuse to act like one must be in some special category that I dream up.

I obey the law and use good judgement.

If you want to go the second mile take them to a FFL and do a transfer. Short of that anything else is useless.

Thank you!!

I bet you didn't know what you were getting started here. :biggrinjester: I have been through about a dozen of this thread since joining this forum and I think I have most of the replies memorized. As usual, carlson gives the correct answer once again. :fire

I'm not giving my personal info to a stranger. The reason I buy private is no paper trail. If they want LTC I'll show my pic and exp date, but block address, number, etc.
Just like ccw insurance ( may as well add gas to a hot topic), are there documented cases someone bought a stolen gun innocently and got busted, or someone sold a gun with no BOS that was later used in a crime and was unable to walk a jury back?

Something to think about: A friend of mine in Arkansas sold or traded a handgun to a dealer at a gun show. A few years later, the BATF rang his doorbell and asked him if he ever owned that handgun. He told them he got a receipt when he sold it. After showing them the receipt, he asked, "is there a problem?" They told him the handgun was used in a murder in a northern state. They thanked him, and went on their way. I always get a bill of sale/receipt and ask for I.D. whenever I buy/sell a gun of any kind, because it might save my bacon someday.

Where am I going, and why am I in this handbasket?

Let’s suppose he had no receipt, what would have happened? Would they arrest him on the spot for that crime in the northern state? No, they would need something linking him to that crime and simply being a previous owner of the firearm would not necessarily link him to it. As an FFL I get those trace requests and I know people who had no proof of who they sold to. Guess what? Not one of the people from the four traces I think of off the top of my head have gotten into any trouble over it. Yes, I’m sure there are a very small percentage of times where it could help but I think that would be rare.

Because it's impossible to make a fake bill of sale if you use one of your guns to commit murder in another state.
