And that makes that BOS better?I use that BOS for every FTF purchase or sale I make. I do NOT however include either buyer or sellers personal information, just their names.
100% pure unadulterated nonsense.A legal sale just requires a check of an ID to be sure they are a state resident, and them verbally attesting they are not prohibited.
For the transfer of a firearm between nonlicensees who reside in the same state, neither federal law or Texas law requires anything you wrote.
There is absolutely no requirement for you to:
-see anyone's ID
-verify they are a state resident
-verbally attesting they are not a prohibited person is as worthless as them verbally telling you their name.
Because no one ever lies.I just like having the BOS with their signature saying they are not prohibited.
How to buy/sell a gun in Texas:
Buyer: Here's my $$$
Seller: Can I see you have a TX LTC? You can put your thumb over your name. Cool, here's your gun.
Buyer: Nice gun, goodbye.
If you are terrified of selling to a prohibited person......don't. Don't use some cobbled together BOS nonsense that carries no value except the feels you get.
If the possibility of selling to a prohibited person gives you the slightest pause, then go to your local gun dealer and do a "private party transfer". The dealer will have the buyer complete a Form 4473 and NICS check. You the seller, transfers the firearm to the dealer ONLY IF the buyer passes his NICS check. If the buyer fails, you take your gun and go home.
Your buyer may be unwilling to do that because he "doesn't want paperwork" on that gun.
Your dealer will likely charge a fee for his time involved in the transfer.
