Local Gun in Auction

[lacoochee]

I am pretty sure it's completely legal to auction off a gun at a local charity event, but I just want to make sure.

In a couple of weeks we are going to have an auction to raise money for a Flying Club outside of Ocala and one of the items being donated is a Ruger Blackhawk, can anyone think of reason why it wouldn't be okay to auction the revolver off? It would be a private transfer so no FFL required? Right?

May be legal, but no way I'd do it for charity without an FFL handling the transfer. Surely you can find one who would do it for free.

A long time ago I attended a firearms auction. I searched whether the auctioneer had to have an FFL or not. It is circumstantial. You could contact Florida Auctioneers Association for state requirements & read this about federal regulations. I would start at the link because it talks about the auctioneers association.

Thanks for the replies.
