There has been quite a lot of discussion on Bills of Sales lately - just want to clarify for anyone who may be confused: 1. BOS is not required by VA law 2. BOS is not required by this site 3. BOS is soley up to the discretion of the seller 4. Requirement for BOS should be communicated to the buyer prior to the deal. 5. Any buyer who refuses to sign BOS should not and will not be looked upon as if he/she has done anything wrong. 6. It is not recommended to provide anything that could be used by identity thieves - including, but not limited to - Address, DL #, SSN, photos of DL 7. Personally, I provide- name, City, ST, and Signature - nothing more is necessary for seller's records.
JG Thank you.

Well said JG. I would add that sellers requiring multiple pieces of ID (not required by law) should also communicate that prior to the sale.

I agree with everything said.
There are other factors one may consider in the decision to obtain a BoS when a firearm is transferred between individuals:
Seller- the BoS provides proof of the date of disposal. This could be very important if the gun is later used in the commission of a crime and could be traced to you.
Buyer- BoS provides proof of acquisition date if the gun is later discovered to be evidence to a crime that occurred before the transaction took place.
In summary, the BoS protects both individuals in one way or the other and is a good thing to have on file. Information about the individuals should be sufficient to identify each person if they become the subject of an investigation. Sensitive personal info is not necessary, but a lack of info that would create a dead end during a police investigation would make the BoS useless as evidence in your defense.
This is not meant as a recommendation one way or another.
The BoS was posted as a courtesy for our members who wish to use it.

Hi JG, Are you still the moderator of the VAGT website? VAGunTraderAdministrader at the following post said this: http://www.vaguntrader.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/439942/1#.UU0JrzfzlJQConcerning bill of sales (BOS) Who is more correct you as the moderator or VAGunTrader as the administrator. Administrater VAGunTrader used a BOS from texasguntrader.com web site. I like your version of BOS requirements better at your post: http://www.vaguntrader.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/296625#Post296625's Which policy is the correct one? stuffbuyin

I am curious why participation on this board includes a recommendation for a BoS when the law doesn't require it and nobody has been hassled for not having one? I see the moderator comments in this thread and think they are accurate and logical but when I visited the site today, I had to accept the board rules which included a recommendation to use a BoS. Not trying to cause trouble, trying to understand what why some believe a BoS is a good idea, what exactly will a BoS accomplish for a buyer and/or seller? And please, no irrational fear comments about "getting ATF attention" or being "put on a list", I'm asking a serious question and hoping that someone can explain what I'm obviously not understanding. Thanks!

I would never buy or sell a firearm without a BoS. If nothing else but to determine a concrete, exact Date and Time of change of custody. But that's just me
