It was mentioned to me by a buddy of mine that his son believes it is a Felony to purchase/sell a gun in a FTF transaction without a receipt being part of the deal. I have never heard of this before and would like to hear from those of you out there that are more familiar with such matters. I've gone to a number of gun shows locally and have witnessed transactions occur more than once where a gun was sold without papers and no receipt was provided from the seller. I've been under the impression that a FTF deal doesn't require a bill of sale or a record of transfer.

Is this a crime?

Thanks,
Roach
