I got a Deal...

[crotalus01]

A guy I work with was bitching about his pistol being too large for effective CC. I mentioned that I had a Taurus Millenium Pro .40 and he asked if he could see it. So he came over last night and brought his pistol, looked at my Taurus and asked if I would be willing to do a straight up swap, his gun for mine. I no longer have my Taurus. I traded it to him straight up - lock box, extra clip and key lock for his .40 Glock 22 with lock box, extra clip, bore lock and paddle retention holster :)
My taurus was a bit newer but they both have about the same number of rounds fired through them. All in all I am pretty happy with the trade.

You could have shot him and kept both guns.

You did well.

Isn't there some sort of paper work the state needsdone for something like this?

I don't know about TN but in PA you can't go about a transaction of this sort legally without the state knowing about the transfer? Maybe somewhere in the post I missed where you two did this.

Personally I'd look into it just so you aren't liable in the event of something criminal happening with a gun you once owned or all sorts of legal variations on a theme.

Tennessee does not require any sort of registration on private transactions. As long as they both reside in the same state it's a legal transfer.

TH to TN resident so no need for an FFL to get involved. TN does not register guns, nor would I live in a state that did.

Damn well excuuuuuuuuuuse me!

No need for any rightous indignation.

I mean I'm totally positive the only reason you live in TN is the gun laws.

Job, family, and friends have squat to do with it.

Uh huh.

Now I fell like I live a lesser existence because I've given in to such compromise...just like in Canada or England for goodness sake!

The humiliation.....

....tell me about it.
If they'd let me have a closet full of pistols I'd be way less angry.

[crotalus01]

No righteous indignation meant or implied. Yes, I live in TN because I was born here among other reasons; I was simply pointing out that if I were bornin, say, Chicago or D.C. I would have moved as soon as I turned 18. I am deadly serious about my 2A rights.

Virginia also does not require any paperwork on private transfers, but every year a bill is introduced to try to end that.

Anyway, good on you with the Glock...I think they're way better than any Taurus.
