I understand both sides of the BOS thing and I don't think either one is "weird".Killadocg23 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 16, 2020 12:50 pm What’s weird for you may be normal for me. I find it weird that you wouldn’t want a BOS neither sign one. That’s weird to me.
Those in favor a BOS would point out that it protects the seller to some extent (if it includes statements that the buyer is not precluded from owning a gun). Those statements are still unverified, but at least no one can claim that the seller should have known the buyer was a precluded person.
A BOS also protects the buyer by showing that they did in fact legally buy the gun. I even heard an urban myth that some yahoo reported his gun stolen after he sold it. That said, texts and other evidence of sale could refute a claim to that extent.
The main argument against a BOS is that the benefits (above) really don't do much for you. And you are leaving a paper trail on where a gun is that could potentially later be used by a tyrannical govt (read Harris administration) to locate and seize guns. If you give up your addresses on the BOS you also now have written records of two addresses that likely have guns in their houses.
Personally I'm fine doing a BOS if the other party wants it done. But I cross out the section for addresses.
