used gun purchase?
 

Is there any form of registration or paperwork that is required (or recomended by u guys) when you buy a used gun? Im shure the government wants to know right?

I would do a bill of sale.

In state of LA you don't have to register a gun. When you buy one new all you do is a background check. So, anything second hand doesn't require anything but you could do a bill of sale if you wanted.

a hand shake should do

I hand write a somthin like a bill of sale with make, model, and ss# and give buyer a copy and I keep a copy just incase they do somthin bad with it and it get taced back to me somehow

what he said.... no more, no less !!!

probably the best procedure...but you shouldn't need anything.

Tell it to the judge son:eek:

Taking a concealed weapons class now. Guy told us to get buyers name, date of sale, dl#, gun serial number. Just in case it's involved in s crime.

Better safe then sorry, hey you live up in crazy ville

You don't need anything.

can't you run the serial # some kind of way?

probly call it in to see if its been reported stolen

Paudna's house just got ripped of all his guns today! Best to have a check run on em so you aren't receiving stolen goods!

Get a bill of sale, I bought a shotgun at a gun show and was stopped by the police turns out it was hot I got arrested went to jail spent almost 10k on an attorney and got a few other firearms taken that were not hot. But luckily I had a bill of sale and the charges were finally thrown out and I eventually got my other guns back. Always smart to cover your rear

or a guy named Tiny will cover it for ya:D

You can make a bill of sale if it will make you feel better, but you really dont need it. If you bought it from a shop or gun show, always keep your sales reciept!!!

I got a bill of sale and had it notarized.... Sold all my guns a few years back. My buddy is a lawyer, the notary was his advice.

Its good to protect yourself if that gun is used in a crime, even though chances are it wouldnt be.

Exactly. By getting it notarized all three signatures are legal and show possession being transferred.
If those guns were ever used in a crime, that notarized bill of sale would keep me clean!

Anyone know how u would run the numbers on the gun to check to make shure its not stolen or "hot".

Might can bring it to a shooting store or a police office and ask them before you buy it.

I got my cousin to run the numbers in his unit the night I bought it.

It is hard these days to make a fake ID and say you are someone else.

I would think it would be easy as calling state police and running the ser#

Take it to a pawn shop they can run it for u
