Proof of ownership

[Ben Draughn]

How do I prove I own a firearm if I have lost the bill of sale?
What can I do to have proof of ownership?

 

[spanky]

Why do you need to?

 

[Ben Draughn]

How do you prove you own your TV, computer, furniture, mower, clothes etc?

JUst tell them to look in the gun registry ......................

I can sell you Louisiana's super-secret proof of ownership form for $50

 

[rcm192]

this is great.

 

[whitsend]

You could sell the gun to me for $100 and I will sell it back to you for $135 and give you a bill of sale.

By possessing it.

This is the kind of question that should never be uttered in our current political state. Especially from a pro 2nd person. You own it because you can

Can anyone prove that you DON'T own it legally is the question. There's a little something called burden of proof that rests on anyone wanting to know. If they can't prove that you don't own it.......then you own it.

You posses it (as already said). It is a good idea to keep pictures with a record of serial numbers of all your firearms for insurance purposes. If you use an email service like yahoo or google, make the list and email it to yourself and save it in a folder.

Yeah cops like this :http://m.facebook.com/l.php?u=http:...=1311892793&_ft_mf_objid=235754679791444&cb=5
You've got to see this even though I couldn't finish watching because I was quite disgusted.

Not only does this stupid officer need to be fired, he needs to be jailed for threating a citizen. I might and I stress might could see some of his actions if the guy carrying a weapon was beligerent and hostile, but it is quite clear that this guy is totally passive. What an idiot, if he is married I feel so so very sorry for his wife and kids if he has any, because you can be assured he acts like that at home as well.

I would chalk that attitude up to S.A.S. The other cop didn't seem too flustered. He needs to be canned at the very least... ticking timebomb.

NOPD was notorious for it, but it doesn't happen anymore. I've had several encounters with NOPD in the last few years (brake tags, tint that was actually legal, just silly stuff) and I've never had them ask for proof of ownership. In fact, all but one didn't even bat an eye when I informed them I was carrying. The one that did went by the book, removed my firearm, pulled the mag and chambered round and put them in the trunk.

To answer the original question...no, there's no way to prove ownership. Because there's no reason to.

Guns = office chair = ream of paper = tube of sizing lube (even if you don't reload).

No matter what so-called men with quivering uteri want to make of them.

Looking at the new world otter as LSP said, and what is to say the " man " can't or won't just charge you with stealing the gun and leave you with the bills. Somehow the NWO is making receipts sound better, except that if you have the receipt they'll call it phony. IMO, if someone agravates the po po there is not much to be done, just start spending money.

It's a good system except for the fact that one rouge cop can just really **** in our cornflakes...and usually with all the force of the "system " behind him.
