No, for piece of mind, just write something up stating the date and what you are transfering ownership of and have the new owner sign it

What he said.

What you selling and how much?

Spingfield XD .40 Cal (not the "M" model) Less than 250 rounds through it.

i think you have to get it registered in your name. could be wrong though, not sure

Not in LA. You don't even need a bill of sale, but it's a good idea just to cover your arse.

if i were you i would make sure they get it registered in their name.

How do you even do that?

Create a simple bill of sale, with the date, names and addresses of seller and buyer, and serial number and description of the gun.

Make two copies, and you both sign it. I'd check the person's ID too if you don't know them.

You keep one copy, give him the other.
This is all about CYA.
