[QUOTE="David2012, post: 1807031, member: 24428"] When buying form a licensed FFL dealer, I just fill out the standard paperwork and get a bill of sale with the dealer's business / address / phone # recorded on it... then write the Serial # on the receipt if it is not recorded already and save it along with a photo of the weapon in my files. From a private sale, in order to make sure it is not a stolen gun... I make out a dated bill of sale indicating the serial number & model of the weapon, their printed and written name, and ask to see the person's license or state ID. I verify their name and record their address info, and the DL / ID #. If they complain, I point out that they would have to give out that same info if they sold the weapon at a pawn shop. If they still complain.. then it is deal off because something is probably illegal somewhere. If it is even a remotely questionable purchase, it also doesn't hurt to have them handle the bill of sale.. such as reading it to make sure everything is correct.. having their identifying finger prints on the paper might just come in handy down the road someday if it turned out the gun was stolen or had been used in a crime.
