So I'm 26 right now, and I've been a handgun owner/user since I was 21. I think many of us go through the buy it/trade it off phase when handgunning. I've only bought and sold my guns at a total of 2 gun shops, both local, and they've been in business for decades and decades, so they obviously have their paperwork and whatnot straight.
I've had all my current guns for at least 3 years or more, and they're staying with me for the time being. That said, a few of the guns I traded off for store credit only appear on my paperwork of the new gun purchased as the brand and model, without the serial number. Needless to say one or two of these guns were sold so long ago I don't have lost the original sales slip, and their serial numbers are forever lost to me.
I trust that the gunshops I trade with screen their customers properly, but you never know where a weapon will end up once you sell it or what it will be used for. Obviously, if something bad is done with a gun I sold years ago I won't be responsible. I guess I just wished I had better documentation of these first two guns and the exact month/day that I sold them.
Am I being paranoid? I hear about people just selling guns to private parties at gun shows all the time, but I wonder how anyone knows the gun has transferred ownership? Especially given the extreme laws that dems have pushed through and are proposing nationally, it's simply a cover your ass issue.
