legality of selling/trading handgun ammo

[Motega]

anyone know what the law is regarding selling or trading handgun ammo? I have a box of +P .38 I can't use and want to sell, trade, or give it away.

In general there's no problem with it, but some states do have specific laws regarding ammo. If you let us know where you're located, it'd help.

Only an issue in a few certain states, most of them it's the same as anything else. Just don't sell it to anyone under 18 and you'll be fine unless you live in one of the few odd states that have things like FOID cards just to possess ammunition.

I'm in NJ, sorry for not mentioning that. Any ammo that is deemed to be "handgun ammo" i.e. normally shot from a handgun requires presentation of license or FID card.

I'm not sure that also applies to a non FFL. When we have clubhouse sales, the only prohibited items are the actual firearms, plenty of ammo changing hands. That being said I would check with the State Police if you want a definitive answer. Yes, I'm behind enemy lines here in NJ also...for a little while longer

Just trade or give it to someone with the proper document and is 21 yrs old. Shouldn't be hard to do.
