A Hypothetical Question

[Pender1]

This is why I enjoy being from South Carolina. We have absolutely no requirements on private sales. I bought my Kahr second hand and all I did was give the guy my name and phone number, and that's all I got from him.

Not advocating it but:

The reason I asked; In our state there's no paperwork required for a private sale.
So if the law did change and a private sale then took place, how would they know when a person actually bought the gun (before or after) Unless one of the parties informed them ?
Questions..Questions..

ETA- That's the way our laws are here Pender1. In fact I don't even do the tel.# thing.

Normally I don't, but I bought the gun from a LEO and he wanted some way to find me if SHTF.

Would I? Could I? Should I? I know we are all friends here, but I feel some things never get put in print (BG). :59: You know what I am not sure what I would do under those circumstances. Shoot think they will notice the M1 Abrams under that tarp in the back yard? :80:

Would I knowingly violate laws requiring documentation/paperwork for a firearms transfer? No.

Thankfully, the great state of Missouri and it hired legislators has seen fit to eliminate the PTA, and require no paperwork for intrastate, private transfers. I have purchased all firearms legally and, in accordance with state law, very few of my firearms are 'on the books'.

Bad link. Try again.

The end of paperwork in Missouri was a welcome thing. We had that requirement only for handguns, but it made such transactions needlessly complicated between individuals. I cannot say I do much local trading, but it did make a couple such deals much simpler.

Did I follow the requirement before? Absolutely! I would not put at risk what rights I have left.

Sorry about that link. I would never advocate breaking any laws, but...
Hope this works: Just Say No! Chuck Hawks

Thank you Kahrdog.This thread was written sort of tongue in cheek but Mr.Hawks nails it. I don`t advocate breaking the law either but I hope that people open their eyes to what`s happening around them.It seems that elected officials no longer seek to serve the people,they seek to control them.

Us that are in unregulated free states should be afraid of S. 843 by Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ). He is trying to close the so called gunshow loophole.
I like Chuck Hawks position.

Totally agree with Dietrich and bumpfire's assessment of the wisdom of Chuck Hawks statements.
I found this on the NRA website regarding S.843.
Hopefully It'll wind up like the rest of his bills.

This is their take on one of the provisions.

Gun collector registration: If you are at home with a collection of 50 or more firearms, it would be a five-year felony to “offer” or “exchange” a single gun -- even between family or friends -- unless you first registered with the BATFE and paid a fee, the cost of which would be at BATFE’s discretion.

While I am generally a law abiding citizen and it isn't YET against the law to aquire a firearm without paperwork. IF it became against the law to do so I would somehow aquire one sans paperwork.
