Just am wondering, if you buy an Eastern within your own state which allows you to skip the permit process, how do you prove that to authorities if it ever came down to it and you needed to show proof? Is just a paypal receipt going to be enough? Anyone ever have something like that happen to them? Just am curious as it came up in a convo I had and I hadn't ever really thought about how that would work if a freak case came up like that.

The very existence of flamethrowers means that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves..."You know, I really want to set those people over there on fire...but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

For an intrastate sale no Interstate Commerce (USFW) permit is required, but the seller should give the buyer a detailed Bill of Sale. It should include the seller's full name and complete address, the buyer's full name and complete address, description and sale price of the animal and should be signed and dated in ink by the seller.

That will show that the buyer and seller were both residents of the same state and it documents the transaction. The original Bill of Sale should accompany the animal, and the seller can keep a copy for his records.

That should satisfy any federal and/or state requirements for documentation.
