Bill Of Sale

[Irving]

As much as I bitch about BoS, I'd sign one if it was an unheard of deal.

[GoldFinger]

it just seemed that more should be done - receipt wise - to purchase a fire arm

and that mentality is why we now have BG checks at gun shows, pushes for "reasonable" gun laws etc. Major Fail

It's not how I feel now that I understanding gun laws and my 2nd ammendment rights better, but I would think this would be a common feeling without having experience in it.

I'd agree in that being naive and uninformed is probably what leads most people to feel we need BG checks and concessions on gun laws. I'm not saying it right, just saying it is.

As Sturtle said, if it was an "unheard of deal", I'd do a BoS, but wouldn't be fond of it as it edges similarity to the paperwork required for a regular FFL transfer. Avoiding paperwork is one of the advantages of Face-to-Face sales.

While I don't mind showing it, one requirement I will walk away from is providing a copy of my drivers license to the seller.

Correct. Plus the seller should have to provide the exact same info as the buyer if the deal is going to go to that stupid of a level.

Well, I would not sign a bill of sale.
I do this as a hobby and for fun. It takes all the fun out of it when paperwork is involved. If sellers want BOS, DL or anything like that, I am not interested in dealing with them.

[spleify]

If it was someone I didn't know or had never dealt with, I would not have a problen signing a BOS, and as mentioned I would appreciate the same in return. If it makes someone feel a little more comfortable about the transaction, then no problem. I don't have anything to hide, so I would be happy to do it.

I have nothing to hide either, but why encourage the trend of paperwork for guns? Its unconstitutional in the first place, and it's bad enough we have to deal with it in commercial sales.

Why would you want to transfer that to the private sector?

You have no legal obligation to document your weapon sales.

All thats required is that you use your good judgement and, to the best of you discernment, don't sell to felons, or the mentally unstable.

When I go to a store and they ask for my address or phone number, I always ask them why they need it. I really need to just create a fake one of each that I memorize and use for everything.

Or you can just say no. You're trading money for goods. Your personal information is not part of the deal, and once they try to get it, the exchange becomes unequitable.

I tell them they can either compensate me for the additional value of my personal information.

Or they can stop asking.

I remember when I worked at Radio Shack we had to ask people that stuff, and it always made me uncomfortable doing so. Then during Christmas the president released some special announcement that we no longer had to ask people for that because it was by far the most common complaint that customers had about Radio Shack.
