Bill of Sale Form

[Blubyue]

Can someone/anyone send me the Bill of Sale form (or a link to a good one) they use when selling private party to private party.

Uh, bad topic.......

[wapit_eater]

uh...why.

Why is this a bad topic...what am I missing?

Uh, bad topic.......

Boy is that putting it mildly. Check out this thread that we've discussed BoS's in lately:

Sorry....I did not find the previous threads on this.

the ONLY reason why I want a BOS.

I sell a gun, and Joe Dirt Ball whacks someone and throws the gun in Sloans lake.

They trace the gun back to me....with a BILL of sale, I say, I sold it to this dude here is his DL#.

Theoretically, the firearm would corrode long before they found it in the sludge that is Sloan's Lake.

Yeah, that sounds like a great plan but it doesn't always turn out that way. A piece of paper can't offer you total protection. In CO, no paperwork is required for a FTF transfer. If a firearm that you used to own is ever used to commit a crime and is traced back to you, you WILL be put under scrutiny. Providing a BoS really won't remove that scrutny any better than simply telling the authorities that you sold the gun.

You really should read the thread I linked to above. You'll see the opinions all over on this topic. Lots of logic in both sides of this issue.

BTW, many others agree with this: I'll let you glance at my DL to verify I live in CO, but you won't be writing anything down from it. The two biggest advantages to not using an FFL or retailer(for the purposes of this post, also assumed to be an FFL), are price and no paperwork. While I have nothing to hide NOW, some day all of that paperwork may come back to haunt typically law-abiding citizens.

Thanks theGinsue...both sides well taken.

I know the pros and cons...I was just asking for a form that is used by others that do.

I made one today ;>)

Well said Ginsue.

I had the same opinion you had until recently enlightened. Completely changed my view on the entire topic. especially when your waving the bos in the polices face and they tell you your bos is a fake.

No papers!

It doesn't matter if someone used your gun to "whack" someone.

they have to connect you to the victim, prove motive, find evidence, and needless to say you'll most likely have more than one alibi.

Just use your discernment, and don't sell to people who seem like criminals.

All this brain damage for the "what if someone buys a gun and blah balh blah"

What if I win the lottery?

That's just about as likely to happen.

SA Friday, what are the realistic chances of connecting a random found gun to a crime anyway? You don't just fish a gun out of a lake and start solving crimes left and right.
