This is how I look at it. If you are not nearby to witness the murder or whatever with your gun, then you will definitely have an alibi that will clear you of any wrong doing. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
They contact the manufacturer and see who they sold it to. Then the call them and so on.
Thats what I was thinking, but I wanted everyone else to hear this story and voice their knowledge of Oklahoma gun laws or opinions. I would hate to ever have to tell my wife and kids that "sorry everyone, but daddy is going to be in jail for a little bit until the good guys get their investigation straight"
Well, that was all I was told about the story. Im not sure how the numbers were traced. The story is probably one of those kind where one guy tells the story to another and that guy tells the story to another, then the next thing you know that facts with fiction are a little off. However, it made me think...
I'd not only get a receipt, I'd make sure the receipt had the serial # on it, signatures of both seller and buyer and I'd compare the buyer's signature to the buyer's driver's license signature. And I'd give a copy to the buyer. The guy buying it may be a great guy, but he might sell it and the guy he sold it to might sell it and so on.
Give that case to JB and he'll make you wealthy.
If you are really concerned you can run your transactions through an FFl for a nominal fee.
That ain't no joke. Make him wealthy!! Gave the last one $1500 and he didn't even show up for court!
You sell a gun. End of story. You are not required to register the transaction, to keep a record of the sale, or to check the background of the purchaser. You did not do anything illegal. If they come and ask you where your gun is, you tell them you sold it (the truth) and if you can remember, who you sold it to.
Being the original purchaser of a firearm does not make you responsible for it forever.
They trace it from manufacturer, to distributor, to thye FFL who sold it, then look in his/her bound book for the listing of the disposition of the gun. If you sold it that is where the paper trail ends.

It depends on what state you are in. California and NY require you to register all handguns within 60 days of moving there. I am sure there are other states with similar laws.
