But, as I recall, even a paperless cash sale is a legal contract between a buyer and seller. An offer to sell has been made by the seller, and the offer accepted by the buyer, and consideration has been exchanged. Maybe my memory is faulty.
Your memory may be faulty about some things, but a paperless sale is a legal contract. My desire to have a bill of sale or other document has more to do with the dollar amount of the transaction rather than the item purchased.

This would seem to fall into the same area of asking for a receipt when buying a TV from a private party for the same reasons.

I've read up on both camps, some saying they do it in case the gun is used in a crime, and another saying even if it is, you don't usually get pressed much about it after you say you sold it.
IMO, most people on the forum don't worry about a bill of sale and most prefer to sell to a person with a CHL. For me it depends on the identity of the buyer. I wouldn't sell a gun to someone who I didn't know.
