I would point out to you (as has been pointed out before) that none of those laws AUTHORIZES private party sales. They only LIMIT certain types of transactions.

The law generally restricts, and anything which is not expressly forbidden is lawful. The only exception will be where an entire type of thing is outlawed, and then certain express exceptions are spelled out. That is not the case for private party firearm transactions.

All I now is that I won't be giving anyone any paperwork other than cash. That's the way it should be in, the land of the free and the home of the brave. I also loathe the fact that some want to cultivate that a BOS or the taking down of info from the seller is SOP. It isn't.

The constitution authorizes you to do anything that is not forbidden by law. IOW, everything is authorized, unless it is illegal by law.

Had another successful face to face sale of a firearm to a member here today with only the exchange of cash and said firearm. Land of the free indeed. [Beer]
