Thought I would post this as a template for a bill of sale for everyone so you don't have to come up with your own. Found it online at http://www.patriotslist.com/Firearm_Bill_of_Sale.pdf

One question, why?
If I sell or buy a gun from private person, no reason to get one in my opinion.

Just a suggestion, if someone is selling and expecting to use this form it would be nice to disclose it in the ad.
I won't be giving anyone my DL number so if I know you expect it I won't even bother contacting you to buy. You are free to look at my ID, but I won't be copying it, or allowing the info from it to be taken by some random person I meet on the internet. There is enough identity theft out there already without me just handing over info to strangers.
I'm not bashing but its still not notarized, so it's good for crap. Maybe if there was a third party witness?
Any lawyers care to comment?

There's too much "internet BS" about buying and selling guns from individuals and the "bill of sale" issue.
You're only breaking the law if you have knowledge of the buyers ineligibility to buy own or posses a firearm. You have only broken the law if you buy a firearm if you have knowledge that it is stolen.
The law requires that "intent" be proven in these cases and you cannot be found guilty of them without evidence that you knew or should have known the gun was stolen or the buyer was ineligible. Should have known would fall into the realm of buying a gun for a small fraction of it's true value.... that's a big hint that something isn't right.
What others do I care not. What I do is ask the seller if he's the original owner of the gun... if he says no, I ask how he came to own it. Now unless he tells me it's stolen or his answer would lead a reasonable person to believe it to be then we're good to go and my bases are covered.
When selling a gun I usually ask about other guns the buyer might own etc. I always ask if there is any law that prohibits his owning firearms (unless I know the person...). Once they say no, I'm good.
I don't sign bills of sale nor do I offer them.
