    I hate to say it (not really) but this thread is getting almost ridiculous. Somebody (not saying who) just doesn't get it about NOT using a bill of sale in a transaction (needless to say, but I'll say it), if a notary isn't present and therefore doesn't sign off on a BOS after checking IDs, etc., it is just a worthless piece of paper.

    wow.. don't know how this turned into a BOS thread.. whoever mentioned BOS first is to blame. :)

    So.. the "normal" appears to be..

    As long as the buyer doesn't give you a reason to believe they are prohibited from purchasing or not a legal Texas resident, just exchange money for gun and you are legally good.

    Are you a resident? Yes. Do I suspect your not eligible? No. Do you have money? Yes.

    Still...let’s see what more post roll in. Lol

    I already asked him for an example and he avoided answering, essentially admitting there wasn't one.

    And if he honestly thinks a BOS will "CYA," he is sadly lacking in understanding the law. It is a worthless piece of paper that has no legal standing in a court of law.

    Honestly, I wish such people would either research the statutes concerning private sales, or admit their opinions are not based on any facts. It would save this urban myth of BOS from continually being debated!


    BOS is POS.........I have an LTC and won't EVER sign a BOS. If my credentials aren't good enough........F&^K the sale.
