What are private sales of handguns?

I means the owner of a handgun does not have to have an FFl to sell his personal collection. He still can't sell to a minor or known felon. This practice is still in force here in Ohio. I am a collector and buy privates sales occasionally. the risk is if it turns out to be a stolen guns you can't get your kinkies back....

Gun control is very strict.  I lived there for 17 years and never saw a gun for sale except in the hunting section of sporting goods stores.  Drive-by and random shootings are virtually unknown there.

Check your states laws first!  Consignment though a gunstore is the easiest but you may not get as much for it.  Some newspapers will not let you advertise firearms for sale.  Ebay will not let you sell your gun online, only parts.  There are online sites that do deal with gun auctions.  You'll have to do a search for them.  Try posting an ad at a local shooting range.  Most ranges have bulletin boards that you can list your gun on.  In some states you must complete a "private party transfer" through a Federal Firearms Dealer when selling to an individual.

I would suggest a gun show or from private parties.  Whenever you buy a gun, insist on a receipt with the gun's serial number and the selling parties personal information.  This is for your protection if the gun is stolen.\n\nIf you're looking for a gun for self defense, you may want to do some research on caliber sizes. A .22 caliber isn't the best choice for self defense.  But it's a great gun for target practice and learning how to shoot.  It's also great for hunting small game. One of the most fun guns to own. It just doesn't have the stopping power needed for self defense.\n\nGood luck!

While I would like to own a class three weapon, I wouldn't ask such a question in an open forum.  Currently, the convenience store (BATF) is pursuing several legal gunsmiths for various reasons.  If they found out you did this they would be at your door.

Yes, in North Carolina, there is a three day waiting period to purchase a hand gun. This is after you have taken the time from work to take a state mandated fire arms safety course, go to your county's sheriff's office and fill out the necessary paperwork for a criminal background check and FBI search and fill out an application for hand gun purchase. In the mean time, you could have bought as many of what ever you want off a street corner in one day and be done with it. The criminals have it made in this country...why do they make honest people go through so much to get a hand gun? I know other states are even harder to deal with....New York being one of the toughest! They're trying to make honest people not want to even have guns.\n\nWhy isn't there a national standard on the gun law? Should individual states be able to create their own laws concerning something straight out of the Constitution?

Try looking at the local gun shops or outdoor sports stores.  You can also buy it easily enough online.  You would have to check with city ordinances to see if they have restriction on who can buy/ carry within city limits.

it may depend on your state (assuming you're from the US), you will probably need a certificate for sales tax and.. well that's about it from what I remember. if you mean by license a corporation, LLC, or SP, then no. you can be a private individual and sell online. however, if you're going to setup a shopping cart and not go through a 3rd party like CCNow (and similiar reseller merchants) you may need more accountability. this is actually a question you should direct to your secretary of state office

Any class III firearms dealer should be able to order one - however, they are legal for sale only to other class III dealers, or to military/law enforcement personnel.  Since they are manufactured after the 1986 automatic weapons ban, it is not possible to legally own one as a private citizen.  Only automatic weapons registered as "Transferable" may be purchased and owned legally by the general public.  There is a $200 transfer fee, a criminal background check, and a waiting period of however long it takes the BATF to process the paperwork.\n\nTo become a class III dealer, you need to contact the BATF (Bureau of alcohol, tobacco, and firearms).  I think the fee for becoming a dealer is $1500.00, and you have to pass one heck of a background check.  This allows you to buy and sell class III firearms (each weapon will require the $200 transfer).  There are three classes - transferable, pre-86 samples, and post-86 samples.\n\nAs a dealer, you can trade in all three types.  If you let your dealer status lapse, you may keep all transferable and pre-86 samples then in your posession.  Post-86 samples (such as the 18C) will need to be sold to another class III dealer or be destroyed.  The BATF frowns upon people becoming dealers only to enhance their collection (Samples are much less expensive than transferable weapons), so be prepared for some scrutiny if you never actually sell a weapon.\n\nThere is no license that will grant carry permission to a full automatic.  You may own and transport weapons provided the transfer fee has been paid, (you will be issued a tax stamp as proof the weapon is legally registered) but you cannot carry them on your person as a concealed weapon.\n\nThere are other full auto pistols that are transferable.  The cheapest I've seen are Ingram MAC-10 and similar weapons for around $4000-$6000.  The Beretta 93R is another full auto pistol, but I haven't been able to find out if any were made pre-86.

To purchase from a firearms dealer you must sign some forms and have a check. It is absolutely illegal for someone to buy a gun for another person....gifts are a grey area. \n\nWhy not go price the .44 and either get a gift certificate of have the nice man put it on hold for you....then he can transfer it to your hubby the next day.
