Eow feedback discussion

and you said you don't want your ass on the line when the cops show up. it already is on the line by you selling the gun to the guy. bill of sale or not. it may prove you didn't do that particular crime, but they might get you for selling to someone who wasn't legally allowed to own a gun. then they will really dig into your personal life.

bill of sale is worthless. go to an FFL if you want paperwork.

I agree with you Sniper 100%. Even if I could show the cops who bought it from me, there's no guarantee that that person was the one who committed said crime. I mean shit, the gun could have exchanged hands 50 more times. I just want to get the cops out of my house as fast as possible, that's all.

I'm currently in the process of obtaining my FFL, a i've just finished gunsmithing school, and plan to build custom weapons.

Maybe I'm just practicing. lol.

Let's change this up a little bit. What if you are selling a gun that you bought face to face with no paper work? How likely is it that the gun will be traced to you in the first place?


Also, I'm curious about this whole "find my old gun at a crime scene" thought process. I haven't registered any of my guns. If I leave one of my guns on a park bench, how easy is it for them to track me down as the owner? I assume they pull the numbers and see where the manufacturer sent it, then go there and see who the dealer sold the gun to? Is that about how it works?

Also, they can find 10 of my guns at a crime scene, but that doesn't mean they'll have a shred of evidence that I did anything.


Oh yes, since someone brought up looking like an FFL, the whole entire Feedback forum lends itself to making everyone mentioned in it look like a dealer. Why do you care about your reputation for selling guns if you aren't doing it to make money? If you sell a car once every ten years and a deal goes south, it's no skin off your back, because you aren't selling cars every other week. Just something to think about.

Seller has a rights to ask to see or sign stuff. There are nothing wrong with it.
You can ask me to provide strain of DNA sample, drug test, proof of citizenship/birth certificate, Green Card, CO ID, CCW ID, business card, resume, school transcript incl GPA, etc. "If" someone is selling an NIB $10,000 firearm for $100, fine.. I "might" do all that.
If someone is selling $600 firearm for $550, probably would not jump all the hoops that seller requires.

Just that it wont really protect you from anything. I really don't care about doing/not doing the bill of sale.
Worst case, if i do need their info, I already have tons of PM/email showing that I Bought/Sold the firearm. It is my/their firearm now.

I would like to apologize for my crazy rant the other night (a few posts up). I was angry about a lot of stuff and if came off wrong. I hope no one was offended.

And as always, keep shooting!
