I have some firearms that I no longer use, and would like to sell
legally. How do you go about that?

I know that when I buy a firearm, I have to register it. So if I wanted
to sell it how do I do it legally?

I know I could go to a gunshop and have them do it, but they would take
some of the profit or offer to buy it from me cheap and then sell it for
a profit.

I'm sure it's not a hard process, just wondering...

Thanks

It varries by state. When I lived in Conn. it was a process and probably 3 times as bad now.

That would depend upon your state of residence and that of the prospective
buyer. Here in the free state of Wyoming, private sales are not regulated at
all. If purchasing from a FFL you need to perform paperwork and background
check.

What state are you in? In Texas and Oregon we can just purchase privately without anything more than a sales receipt. Don't have to register anything - just the way it should be...

We have Facebook groups for it. No, you can't post it
'for sale' or anything, but you can post pictures, then
people can private message you.

And in Tennessee, this is VERY very legal! And no registration
either.

Where are you located? And what do you have? :-)

I guess I should have checked with the state website before asking.

Oh wow... I wish I still lived in NY now. I too, have a Neos. Mine has green
highights.... I'd like the carbine kit. Have wanted one ever since I found
out they existed. Good luck finding a home for it. I'm already jealous of the

I checked online and to transfer a pistol the buyer and I would need to
fill out paperwork which includes background investigations at the
Sherrif's office or at a licensed FFL dealer.

Wow! I looked at the purple accented U22, but opted for black instead.

I would most likely sell the carbine kit with the U22.

Thanks for your reply!

Have a great day Weatherman.

Yeah, transfers within NYS are miserable. Not sure what needs to be done for
out of state. I know it'd have to go to an FFL out here, I'd have to fill out
the 4473 and then I'm out the door as I have a CCP and don't have to wait for a
background check. For departure from the state I'm guessing it'd involve you
taking the arm to an FFL, filling out what paperwork they have and then
providing them with the FFL info at this end.

Either way, a bit of a pain in the neck. Hope you have good luck finding a
home for it!

Might be some people around - at the range, etc. - that would,
if it's legal to sell to them, give you cash and a good price
and you'd be done with ti!

I'm in Tennessee. I can sell to someone else, or buy from someone
else, with no FFL involved. The only encumbrance is if I KNOW
they are not allowed to legally own it (minor, felon, etc.).

For out of state, a handgun has to go to an FFL for them to pick
up, and the same if I buy one from out of state. Not sure about
a long gun...

As for in state from a dealer, we have TICS - Tennessee Instant
Check System. For a $10 fee, you fill out a form 4473 (I think
it is - don't quote me) and the dealer either calls it into
Nashville or they submit it electronically. You USUALLY get
a response in MINUTES, then you make the purchase and carry
it home with you!

That's a good suggestion. I normally don't go to the range, I live in a
rural area and have a mountain backstop. But I have some friends who
belong to a gun club and that would be a great place to start.

Thanks for the input. Have a great day!

Here in Wyoming it's somewhat similar. I have a Wyoming concealed carry permit
(which isn't required for concealed carry in the state, but it DOES provide
reciprocal privileges with other states). With the WY CCP if I purchase a
firearm (long gun or hand gun) from a FFL in state I fill out the 4473 and I'm
out the door. Don't need to wait for the NICS check to be called in. Makes
things VERY convenient!

I've heard of states doing that, and with me having a CCW might be
why if I buy something it's VERY instant, where others might wait
a bit... They already done the background check on me and I'm in
the system. :-)
