when you sell a firearm

[AllOut]

My transactions usually go something like this...
Money is dropped off at a secrete random location, usually in unmarked envelopes taped under park benches and such. At that location there will be a cell phone for them to take. They are to use that cell to call the only number stored in it saying the money is dropped. After money is picked up a call will be made to that cell telling where the merchandise is stashed and can be picked up, usually same type of location as money drop. After transaction is done all cells are to be destroyed.

As far as Bill of Sales go I just fake one for all my transactions.

I've had a call from Norman detectives, half a decade ago, about a gun I sold that was used in a robbery with shots fired, at police no less. Three minutes later, I was off the phone and back to my boring, mundane life.

I kept no record of the sale, checked no license, didn't know any names involved with the sale, no bill of sale, had no back-up, no tinted windows, no snipers on elevated positions, and somehow I survived without death or jail time.

I guess I should consider myself lucky.

Last rifle I sold was a Mannlicher-Carcano M91/38 in 1963.

Never caused me any problems...

Now that's funny

I guess the moral of the story is, do what feels right to you... You know what they say about opinions, everybody has one!

This wasn't a gun transaction but my son sold his car which was in both of our names at the time, about a month later I received a letter from the turnpike authority stating I owed them some money plus a fine for not paying some tolls. I told them the car had been sold and it wasn't us. You'll never guess what they asked for to prove our innocence ............. A BILL OF SALE! Luckily we had one so they went away. just saying

...an agreement on a piece of paper. Not a big deal really. If both people are honest law abiding citizens then it shouldn't create a big fuss.

...what they asked for to prove our innocence ............. A BILL OF SALE!

That's what I'm talking about!

Also, I just like to keep track of my sales... especially firearms.

If someone I knew and trusted asked for a bill of sale - no problem. If a stranger wanted a bill of sale I might get spooked because I'm giving someone I know nothing about my address and he knows I have firearms. If someone isn't OK with keeping it simple I'm probably thinking they aren't my kind of folks and pass on the deal.

I don't care about a bill of sale I am just going to make sure that I have the S/N of every gun that is registered in my name, whether it is still in my possession or not. I don't care who bought it or how to reach them, if I thought they were suspect for any reason at all I just wouldn't do a deal with them.

You have guns registered in your name? You buy and sell a lot of NFA stuff or do live someplace other than OK?
