--- Quote from: Kendahl on March 17, 2017, 03:39:18 PM ---I read the text of the bill from Rod's link in the LB68 thread in the 2017 Legislation Area. Proof of ownership is needed only if the gun has been reported as stolen. Provided you can trust the person who sold/traded/gave the gun to you, you won't have a problem. Is this any different from buying stuff off Craig's List? Can you be sure you're not buying stolen goods from a fence or even the original thief?

Agreed, created a new mine field.  I'd be hard pressed to come up with receipts/records from firearm transactions from Craig's list, buying or selling.

I think that mine field has always existed. Several years ago, I bought a used VCR off Craig's List. I responded to the seller's ad and arranged to meet her in the lobby of the Millard Library. I gave her $50, she gave me the VCR and we parted company. I don't think I ever got her name. Certainly, I never got a bill of sale. Had police shown up at my house saying that it had been stolen, the most I could have shown them was the e-mails between the seller and me.

Guess my point is, now it gives law abiding citizens something else we need to think about. And yes, years ago we traded firearms the same way.
