New Hampshire private sales...

[NavyLCDR]

Nevermind. I found the exception:

159:14 Exemption. – None of the provisions of this chapter shall prohibit an individual not licensed under the provisions thereof who is not engaged in the business of selling pistols or revolvers from selling a pistol or revolver to a person licensed under this chapter or to a person personally known to him.


I found this in New Hampshire statutes:

http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/rsa/html/XII/159/159-10.htm

159:10 Sale Without License. – Any person who, without being licensed as herein provided, sells, advertises or exposes for sale, or has in his possession with intent to sell, pistols or revolvers shall be guilty of a class B felony if a natural person, or guilty of a felony if any other person.

So, does that mean that an unlicensed person cannot legally do a private sale of a handgun in New Hampshire?

Paragraph 8 sets the rules for issuing a NH handgun dealer's license.

Paragraph 10 says it is unlawful to sell pistols and revolvers to people you do not know.

I read Paragraph 14 as exempting non-dealers from selling pistols or revolvers to someone they know or to a NH handgun dealer.

Paragraph 10 says it is unlawful to sell pistols and revolvers to people you do not know.

Paragraph 10 says it is unlawful to sell pistols and revolvers without a license.

Paragraph 14 is the exception for an unlicensed person to sell a pistol or revolver to another person if the buyer has a pistol license or if the buyer is known personally by the seller.
