How hard is it to make up a fake bill of sale with a false name and date?
My experience as a deputy sheriff of 8 years has been that a bill of sale that is not witnessed and notarized means about as much as a used piece of toilet paper.
I suppose so, But with two signatures and a date. Its better than a he said she said.
You would have to prove it was false and if it was, why it was false.
Are they under investigation for selling illegal fire arms?
I am not trying to help some one perform an illegal act. And I suspect providing a false bill of sale for a fire arm would be an illegal act.
But I get it, Have had issues about a misunderstanding and producing a Bill of sale solved the miss understanding with one person doing the right thing.
Also have ended up in court and a judge state it does not matter whats on the paper it matters what the person believed he was signing when he signed it. And what he was saying was a complete lie. Not just a little one ether.
Complete untruth... I found my self completely unprepared to prove his lie was a lie. I had signed paper that proved what I said. Figured that was all I needed... Wrong!!
I had to pay up $1500 and take back a used up machine that was used commercially for profit and was toast.
I just shook my head and said What??? Why sign paper if it does not matter.
But on a whole it is much more helpful than a hindrance.
Some times it does matter what side of the bed the Judge woke up on. The scales of justice do seem to have a sales pitch lever attached to them.
