Which states require FFL for used sales

[FlaChef]

Just looking for a list of states that require the use of a FFL to transfer from one private party to another. This is for a project I am working on. I tried the NRA-ILA table of gunlaws by state and the handgun law site but neither specifically listed this question.

I know Penn and Kali.
What others?

PA requires it only for handguns, rifles are ok ftf.

 

[FlaChef]

sorry, question is in regards to a piece i am doing about varying laws on handguns from state to state.

 

[THE DARK KNIGHT]

All handgun transactions in NJ must be registered and reported to the chief of police in the municipality where the receiving person resides, and if you live out in the sticks it goes to the state police instead.

EDIT: This does not apply to the cities of Newark, Elizabeth, Camden, Trenton, Irvington, Jersey City, Union City, in these cities you just buy a dirty gun in a parking lot cash and carry.

Georgia's ok with Face-to-face for residents on all legal firearms.

 

[Bubbles]

VA and WV do not.

As for the rest - http://www.nraila.org/GunLaws/

CA requires it. Surprising eh?

 

[FlaChef]

so still only CA and PA?
what about some of the more restrictive states like Illinois or Hawaii?

what about some of the more restrictive states like Illinois or Hawaii?

1. You must specify handgun or long arm. Some states only have special requirements for handguns, but not long arms.

2. Don't confuse having to have a purchase or possession permit with having the transfer go through an FFL. Illinois, I think, requires a FOID card for a private sale, but not an FFL transfer. South Carolina, again I think, requires a purchase permit for a handgun, but not an FFL.

3. Clark County, Nevada (but not the state) requires the sale of a handgun to be registered with a LEO agency, but not an FFL.

Maryland

In MD for a private sale. FFL transfer is required of handguns and other regulated long guns i.e. AR's and AK's. They have a list on the Maryland State Police web site.

 

[NMPOPS]

No FFL required for tranfers between private persons in either New Mexico or Arizona

 

[Mr_Rich]

Not only does the glorious Peoples Republic of Illinois require both seller and buyer have FOID cards, both must keep records for 10 years and the 24 hour long gun and 72 hour pistol waiting periods must be observed.

NV and FL have no such restrictions (maybe Vegas)

In NY, handguns have to be registered and unregistered the counties of both parties. Each county has different rules regarding it.
You don't need to go through an FFL though. Pay the extortion fee to the counties and do the paperwork, then complete the transaction (or do things in the opposite order in some counties).

CT has a looong statute pertaining to the sale of handguns (CGS 29-33). While the sale doesn't have to be done through a FFL holder, the state police have to do their thing on the background check. And the purchaser must have a handgun permit or an eligibility certificate.

In NY, handguns have to be registered and unregistered the counties of both parties. Each county has different rules regarding it.

Ulster County, New York:

--Pay seller for gun, get bill of sale containing his permit number and yours, plus make, model, caliber, and serial number of the gun.

--Take bill of sale to pistol permit bureau at Sheriff's Office.

--Pay $5, sign the form they stick in front of you, hand over the laminated card that lists all the handguns you are "permitted" to carry.

--They go to their magic machine and print out an updated card with your new gun added to it. They hand it to you along with a coupon to take possession of the gun.

--Back to seller. Give him the coupon, he gives you the gun.

--Seller takes the coupon to his county issuing authority, hands it in, gets his permit card updated to remove the gun he just sold you.

It gets easier each time you do it. If you plan it right, it can all happen in about half a day, especially if buyer and seller are both Ulster County residents and go to the permit bureau together.

What gets weird is if it spans over a few days, like right now. I just bought a handgun in a private sale. I have paid for the gun and done all the paperwork. However, because of work schedules, I can't pick it up from the seller until Monday. So right now he has my money and the pistol, which is listed on both his permit and mine. I trust the guy, but it's a weird kind of limbo.

If its in Albany County, you have to write in the gun or cross it out as appropriate on the flimsy piece of paper they sell you.
Luckily, I'm not in Albany County any more. Rensselaer County is weird though - they're much better about CCW permits and actually sell you a card instead of the lousy piece of paper Albany does, but when you're selling a handgun, you have to get the gun removed from your permit BEFORE you give it to the buyer.

 

[Gouranga]

In NC a purchase permit must be issued by the county sheriff for the transfer of owners for ANY handgun. Whether you are buying it or someone gives it to you free of charge.

That being said, unless you are a raving lunatic you will not have a problem getting it. On ours the permit application was a 1 page paper, the first question was "Do you consider yourself a person of good character?". If you get the one wrong..well I would question whether having a firearm is a good idea for you to begin with. lol.

In CT if its a long gun and FTF by two private people its legal.

With dealers you need to wait 2 weeks if you don't have your hunting license or pistol permit.

Pistols you need the pistol permit.
