You should have told him to send in the warranty card if he wanted to, but that it was not really necessary.

Move to CA, IL, MD, etc..."Well what if I WANT to register it, how do I do that?".
tWhen I sell a firearm in state, I always have the buyer go through a dealer transfer. I want my name "out of the books", e.g. not associated with the serial number. If the buyer ends up having the gun I sold to him (FTF) stolen and it is used in a crime and recovered, guess who pays me a visit after following the paper trail? Barney Fife!! I am going to have to waste my time telling Barney Fife that I legally sold the gun FTF and here is my bill of sale, blah blah...no thanks....I don't have time to deal with LE involving someone else's problem.
I believe in the great corrupt state of NY the closest thing to "registering" a gun is having a pistol listed on our ccw permit.
until I sell it through a FFL transfer
What you DO gain by going through an FFL is valuable indeed though - as you gain some insulation against civil suits brought forth by an offended party, if the weapon is ever used in a crime.
There's a lot to be said for careful financial planning and family trusts.Civil lawsuits with firearms generally go after deep pockets which typically means companies instead of individuals. If you sell or transfer a firearm correctly, you have nothing to concern yourself with in terms of civil liablity. My Dad was one to want to go through a FFL dealer if he sold a gun in his later years as he started to think his pockets were getting a lot deeper than many. Those pockets did not affect me one way or the other as all his children got ZERO when he died. His spouse from his second marriage took it all. We just love her now.

Not likely.You'll still get a knock on your door.
walk a couple blocks down to McBride's and walk out with a gun in under 15 minutes.
Nope, they couldn't figure how to register our guns, so they register us as owners. If it weren't for having a child here, I would never have returned.There is no IL gun registration. It was a good attempt at taking a shot, but you missed.
If you'll get your Concealed Carry Permit, you don't have to have the background check. There's a spot on the form for permit number when you purchase, no more waiting period, no more phone calls. Just jump through their hoops and register as a "Gun Owner" so they can come knock on your door first.Every time I purchase a firearm, the clerk call the authorities, state my info and the firearms info, before the final sale.
After all these years, I guess I'm being candid by asking this question, but is this not a form of registration? Not just a background check?
