Re: Legal question: Pistol records
I never understood this. I have bought a rifle FTF and offered the seller to copy down my info or to do the sale through FFL and he just shrugged and said he didn't need it. He asked me to show him that I had a PA ID and to tell him that I wasn't prohibited from owning a firearm yada yada yada. Personally if it was me selling a rifle I'd want a bill of sale completed just to have some kind of prove that I sold it.
As far as liability goes, I am not really sure but even the bill of sale is probably next to worthless without a witness or a notary stamp or something along those lines. Anyone can fabricate one. All it does is simplify personal record keeping.
