>You also don’t know if that firearm has been used in the commission of a crime prior to your purchase. Absent any paperwork to prove the date on which you became the owner, you might well become a suspect in possession of a firearm used in a criminal act.<

I would hope that you have enough brains to write up a bill of sale and put both signatures on it when you make a private sale or purchase.

That protects both parties.

I agree. That establishes a mutually agreed upon transfer between parties and acknowledgment that the seller was paid for the merchandise and the buyer received it. A date and time would be good too. Just in case the buyer does something improper on the same day, but at a later time than the sale took place --OR-- the seller did something improper before that date/time.
