AWW$HEEET Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 when you sell/trade guns, do you typically ask for a hand receipt, or something with the names of the people involved, the serial number, model, etc? i traded off my shotgun but it was an afterthought that maybe i need to have some documentation for non-repudiation purposes.

Scotty2Hotty Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 You don't have to, but a bill of sale is always smart. License #, name address, firearm type, serial number etc.. Just covers you in case. I haven't done a bill of sale with friends, but people I don't know usually get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you bought it from a dealer, there will be a link to you. It will be in the dealer's log book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Brian Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Nope, nothing. I've always just bought/sold handguns in gas station parking lots.. Probably not the smartest thing to do, but whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When buying from a private individual, you are not required to do a background check or any other paperwork. That being said, it is recommended that at the very least there is a bill of sale, and that the seller copy all of the information from the buyer's ID. If you, as the seller, have any doubts about the buyer, a gun store/FFL would be willing to do the background check for you, usually for a small fee.

Scotty2Hotty Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 full 3 days I'm less than a day, but I get delayed and have to wait for the FBI to give the green light. I had BWSC tell me 5 days, but it really only boils down to half a day. I talked with an older gentleman that wa in Vietnam and he said clearances post 9/11 = delay. We talked about how flawed that really is, but it's the nature of the beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good to have proof that you sold it in case it turns up at a crime scene but it is not required by law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But average Joe doesn't? THat is pretty flawed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've held a TS Clearance and get the FBI shake down everytime I buy at a store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
