what is a simple bill of sale?

[gh1950]

What was to keep your brother from post dating a BOS at that time or just talking to the (idiotic) LEO directly? I'd love to know what jurisdiction that was in (so I never go there).

Just saying,

I "heard" about a "good friend", yeah, that's it, a "real good friend" who was gifted an old truck from his father, and went to register it and was told that he needed a BOS which he didn't have ,and which he didn't want to drive back to Atlanta to get.

S o o o o -- he went outside and wrote up a BOS on a piece of notebook paper, "signed" by his father, and took it back in to the tag office, and promptly received a tag. (He had the existing tag receipt was what I was "told")

Or so I heard.

Perfect! "Officer, it's in the cloud".

You know, you can do that with your insurance cards now. Way cool.

I just can't fathom such a thing!

You don't know my stance on BOS's. My avatar is badass though.

Nobody knows anything... for certain.....

what's the difference between a bill of sale and a simple bill of sale? and what is the point since there is no legal requirement for either?

Assuming this is a legit question and not just trying to start an argument:

1-- A simple bill of sale is something in writing that is supporting evidence (some call it "proof") that you sold a particular gun to a particular person on a certain date. It can be really short-- 30 words or less, scribbled on the back of a paper plate in crayon.

2-- Some people's "bill of sale" have other things in them, like:
* a disclaimer of any warranty, even implied.
* a statement that the buyer represents that he is fully qualified to possess this weapon.
* unusually detailed information about the buyer and seller-- dates of birth, addresses, driver's license numbers and expiration dates, etc. The kind of info you'd be asked when filling out a Form 4473.

The stuff on list #2 above takes it out of the "simple bill of sale" category in my mind.

A simple bill of sale would be: "I, Joe Blow, sell my S&W model 15, SN# D34874, to Fnu Lnu, and he has already paid. Date: _________ Buyer's signature ______________. Seller's signature _________________."

you didn't answer the part about what's the point since there is no legal requirement for a bos

Is he being detained? Is he? Is he free to go?

Besides being a deal breaker, nothing much. I'm bringing cash / item for your item / cash. Why you got to bring additional printed paper into this?

It happened in New Orleans, and this was several years later, My brother was living in Georgia at the time. Took the guy a few weeks to find my brother. Once he did, luckly my brother was able to provide the original BOS
