I was recently told by a friend that if I buy a gun new (i.e. have it registered in my name) and sell it at some point down the road then I need to keep a record of this transaction for 20 years.
I'm guessing that should something bad happen it might be my responsibility to prove that I used due diligence to insure that the person I was selling to was legally allowed to own a gun. Perhaps the ugliest legal situation would be if the gun was taken out of state and ended up being used for harm in some place like Chicago.
Anybody know for certain what the rules really are?
