Firearms Buying and Selling, GET A BILL OF SALE! - Police now have my/sold firearm.

[maboo]

I sold quite a few firearms here, and met / traded in parking lots etc, just like everyone else does. I normally didnt require a bill of sale, and just a peak at DL and/or Gun Permit was fine.

Friday, I received a certified letter from a GA police dept, saying they have in their possession one of my firearms. Based on the model / cal etc, I was able to identify it as one that I've sold here to another ODT member back in 2017. The PD states that this firearm was found on the side of the road, and they want me to come down to the evidence room to retrieve it.

I highly recommend you guys start getting a Bill of Sale, if someone does something stupid with it, (like they did mine) you have some proof you no longer have possession of it as of said date.

How does a bill o' sail prove you didn't have possession of it when you robbed the Dollar General? I've often wondered about this logic train.

I mean I could write up billow sails for all my firearms proving I don't have them any longer.

And you know what would have happened if you said "Sorry officer I sold that in a private sale years ago"?

Nothing. The answer is nothing would have happened......


Aaaaand we're off and running.

So you going to sell it again or use you bill of sale to contact the buyer and return the lost item?

I am thinking if I had a Bill of Sale, where both parties have a signature with a date, I could use this for the police dept to track where it had gone after I had it. Had something criminal been used with it, I can say I "go after this guy".

When I fill mine out I use random IDs I glean from the innerwebs.
