Utah laws about trading firearms???

[44 Mag]

I'm new to Utah and thinking about trading an old 357 revolver of mine for an old used boat thats currently advertised on a classified ad. Does anyone know what the laws are in Utah about trading firearms, in a non ffl transaction with another Utah resident. I don't want to break any laws!
Will a simple Bill of Sale suffice?

No paperwork is required for the handgun. Some may be required for the boat though. Whether you do a bill of sale or not is between you and the buyer. Personally, I don't voluntarily give my personal info to strangers, so I would pass on the sale if a seller insisted upon keeping my info.

Sounds good, thanks!

As long as you have no reason to believe that the recipient of your firearm is a prohibited person, you are free to make a face to face transfer to another resident of the state.

Just a tip for the new guy. Don't just take the word of folks on this forum, (including me). Lawyers, prosecutors, judges and juries do not care, at all, about what we told you. Verify everything you're told by finding the official source.

Nothing wrong with a quick phone call to local or state law enforcement and talk to them.

Nothing wrong with it, other than that local and state law enforcement are very often quite ignorant about state and federal firearms laws.

If you're non-felon resident of Utah, selling or trading a gun in Utah to another legal Utah resident is like selling a hammer or a chainsaw. You don't need any paperwork.
