A bill of sale always seemed to me, to be a logical thing. Not from the BATFE, or gun law liability angle, but from pure business sense. When both the buyer and seller have signed copies of a transaction, there is proof of what transpired, who paid whom how much, for exactly what, in what condition. No argument. If someone later feels ripped off, the bill of sale is a good place to start.
We do that for the sale of other valuable items which we sell or buy, right? Do those reasons go away when it's a firearm being exchanged?
Do you do this for all the yard sale items you sell? If not, why not.
