Here we go again...
That doesn't mean squat. Let's be real here, we have quite a few active members here who will sell a handgun or an AR-15 to anyone with the cash, no questions asked. They said so in a recent thread about private sales going thru a FFL. I have purchased handguns from a couple of them here in the past. You got the cash, you got my pistol for sale, period. No seeing/verifying your LA DL, and perhaps a simple hand written BOS.Card is a convicted sex offender. Aka a prohibited person.
Should people go to jail for actions others take?....Zero accountability when it comes to selling a firearm, to ANYONE. ...
This is my position.Should people go to jail for actions others take?
If some one is a danger to society, why is he not locked up?
Absolutely not. But I believe as a responsible gun owner in Louisiana, one should use some level of common sense in a private sale. I put it right in my ad listings I want to see your LA DL at time of the transaction. Not to record anything but see you are a resident of LA. And write out a simple BOS, with legible names. Take a pic of it with your phone upon completion. Quite a few guys here seem to give a flying f*ck where their firearm ends up, long as they get their money. Until their child gets shot or killed in their school, then they will be crying like a baby saying "why, why".Should people go to jail for actions others take?
I do completely agree with showing state ID of both people involved in any transaction, and a BOS. That covers/protects everyone involved in the transaction.Absolutely not.

Lots of people who are a danger to society are not currently locked up. People who are arrested then released on bond. Or people who are out on parole. People with real mental illness walking the streets every single day. Quite a few with anger issues, just look at the road rage today. Shootings and killings most every day in NOLA now. NOLA justice is like a revolving door for the last 2 or 3 years. Covid had a huge impact on it, criminal courts shutdown for 12 or 18 months.
Thankfully, there has not been any mass shootings in LA yet, least I can remember recently.
Searching, Maine's laws on person to person gun sales are very similar to ours. https://www.cashforarms.com/blogs/how-to-sell-a-gun-in-maine
Can I buy a gun in Maine without a license?
Yes, you can buy a gun in Maine without a license. Maine does not require a state license or permit to purchase a gun. There are no purchase permits, handgun registration or waiting periods for handguns in the state.
Details such as these are why I wouldn't sell OR BUY a firearm without showing ID and completing a BOS.I realize people can lie and be deceptive in a transaction, but make an attempt to do the right thing. Don't just sell your Glock 17 or AR-15 to anyone with $500 in their hands. Out of a car window........SMH.
