Selling/trading firearms privately in Georgia... legal requirements.

[Blue bio balls]

I dont mind signing a bill of sale with my name and dl number. I'm not sure why most people are against it actually. But your crazy if you think I'm going to hand anyone I dont know my personal address.

Give me you name and dl# and I will scare you on all I can find.

I have a bill of sale on every gun I have sold on the ODT. Funny thing is, they are all signed by @Bypass.

So you're the source of all those broken guns?

Just don’t buy, sell or trade a firearm if it isn’t right for you. People go into pawn shops and gun stores every day to sell them because of the same concerns. No big deal.

Question, for those requiring a paper trail, do you get a BOS when you sell to a gun shop?

I do. I don't know if they are legally allowed to buy my gun and I don't want to be responsible if they sail it to a felon.

One or two things will happen if a firearm is used in a crime. One, they will find the firearm that was used, and more than likely the perp is right there with it. Two, they won't find the firearm, but find the perp. Either way, they aren't going to come busting down your door. They (Leo) know who committed the crime a vast majority of the time, and it wasn't you.

Farmer_1,

I don't think anyone mentioned it in this thread, but you get a pretty thorough paper trail through the ODT listing thread and private messaging system. That should offer enough documentation to show you used due diligence and the date, time, and location of sale, plus at least a clue as to the buyer's ID.

Thanks for the comments, Georgia Terrapin, I appreciate it.

That is pretty much the conclusion I've come to as well, and you are exactly right. Like I said earlier, I don't do a lot of buying, selling and trading firearms privately and was just curious what others thought about a BOS.

Thanks again.
