I have some beautiful guns that I simply don't appreciate, and I'm thinking about trying to find good homes for them. Selling them through local gun stores means losing a lot of money, so I think I'd like to take a crack at selling them myself.
How does a person go about selling privately? Do the laws vary from state to state? I've read posts where the topic was about "what if the government required registering guns", and some people will always add that "that's why I always keep a few I've bought in private sales" - as if there are states in which you can buy a gun without contacting an FFL?(!)
If it's local, can a single FFL enact the transaction? If it's across state lines, does it go FFL to FFL, and is there anything to look out for there? I noticed that in the 'for sale' section of THR lot's of folks only want to sell locally, why is that?
Thanks for the help -- and future happy owners of my guns thank you too!
