Which is exactly why you should get a BOS. If they lie on it, they go to jail.

>back in jan/feb 2014 traded for a p220 off armslist
>then traded the 220 for a 1911 in feb
>fast forward to today
>got a call from 1911 guy
>turns out 220 was stolen
>can't find any emails from the 220 guy, they were permanently deleted from gmail
>can't find his email under my recipient list

How screwed am I? I have literally nothing proving I got the 220 from that guy off armslist but there's PMs from me and 1911 guy. I'm in full panic mode tout now.

If you woulda got a BOS from "220 guy" there would not be any problems. "1911 guy" coulda went straight to him and you'd be in the clear.

Thank you for your post, wish I'd had that when I was the object of all the trashing about my reason for a BOS.

So lying on a piece of paper that holds no legal weight is a criminal offense?

Don't take "legal" advice from a public forum unless you want to end up in a real bad situation..

This!

This thread is only worth entertainment value at this point.

Tell us the story about the guys that tried to pretend-rob you at a trade-meet and how you held them at gunpoint with a Kahr then let them go again. I love that one.
