[QUOTE="cktad, post: 1865356, member: 2521"] I was talking about the position the police or ATF take as they don't give that much validity to a private bill of sale for a gun, because they know they aren't always legit, unless notarized and even then they can be iffy. I sure ain't giving anyone detailed personal info due to all the identity theft. I'm buying a gun in a private sale not filling out a loan application. I buy at gun shows from private sales and have never given them as much as my name let alone my address or phone number. Truth is a seller has never even asked me any questions at all, I guess I have a trusting face and winning personalty. And the truth is the ATF figures that 99% of the time the seller won't be able to provide any info on a private sale anyway. At least that's what they have told me and others that I know, who have been contacted by them. I once sold a handgun to a guy and several years later it was used in a crime in another state. The ATF called me and asked if I had any info on who I sold it to and I said no. They said they figured that would be the case, said thanks and that was the end of our conversation. But, everyone has a right to cover their ass anyway they want to. If I don't want to comply with their requirements I can move on down the road and buy from someone else. [/QUOTE]
