What if?

Takes 2-3 days tops to find out point of origin. A CA pd called me regarding a gun i sold 17? years ago. They got a little "irked" when i asked if i could buy it back.

What happened? Why did they want that info from so long ago?

IMHO, private firearm purchase can be easily traced if they need to.
This is why BOS is so waste of time.
We have email,IP, PM,, and cell/home phone # to communicate with buyer and seller. I think that would be good enough.

Crime there, i purchased here. How it ended up in CA years later is anyone's guess. IIRC i traded it off to a vendor many years ago for something else. You know those wacky gun nuts, buy, buy, buy, sell, sell, trade, trade.

Hopefully the guy I sold my jeep to doesn't run down a mob of people someday. I'd hate to get that call.

... oh wait, they wouldn't find the need to check on ANY other item short of a bomb to see who sold it.

Stupid.

Jim, I would have loved to see the face of the cop, when you asked to buy it back. Although I can definitely see you doing that!

The minute a firearm leave the ownership of the individual who last filled out a 4473 on said firearm the papertrail is broken.
You think a BOS is a joke?
Just wait until you get a phone call from a detective asking about the disposition of said item and if I knew "Mr X" and said firearm was used to commit a crime.
Unless you have a document stating it went to "Mr Y"" on Z date you open yourself up to a very uncomfortable period of time answering questions if said item is used for ill purposes.
