forgive me if this has been asked, can't find a thread about it.
Im not shitting my pants, just asking for advice here.. please keep it to the point
was going through my firearms paperwork last night as i like to organize it annually, and realized i have 1 missing piece. I did a transfer at JandJ Arms in Dedham back in August/Sept of 2021 (sold it here in the classifieds) but realizing i don't have a copy of the transfer, only have a copy of the registration when i bought it. is that a big deal or no? if it is, anyone have any idea how to recover a copy of it? Id ask the person i sold it to if they have a copy they could send me but it was so long ago that i might've deleted the messages between him and i for the meet-up so i don't even know/remember who it was transferred to.
It is the smallest of infinitesimally small deals.
I, like most NESers, pretty much just throw those away as soon as I get them. Nine times out of ten, EFA-10 forms exist as nothing more than images on my phone.
I'll put it this way: if you're ever in bad enough trouble that the state comes a-knockin' looking for your gats? You really think they'll take your paperwork into account? No, it's their paperwork that'll matter in that case. Really, truly, there's no good reason to hang onto those. I'm aware that won't cut any ice with a guy who cares enough to organize his papers every year, but that doesn't make me wrong.
