No paperwork is needed. Typically it is not desired.
The MOST that I will do is sign saying that I am not a criminal, that I am legally able to buy a gun, etc. I will not provide the seller with my address (that is for my security and the security of my family). I've only signed anything on trades twice. It is simply not needed.
On the other hand, when you sell a gun you cannot sell a gun to a known felon, to someone you know to be disqualified from buying a gun, etc.
Really when you think about it, it is no different than selling a gun to your neighbor or gifting a gun to your child or grandchild. As long as you believe them to be of good character then you have no issues with selling or trading the gun.
Thanks for the response! You guys have been helpful. It is greatly appreciated
perfect response
nothing extra is needed
Are there not some liability ramifications bearing upon to whom one
"gifts" a gun that one has purchased?? Indiana "Age of accountability", or something like in statutory rape?? Even though "gifting" the weapon means that it has changed hands, and "giftee" owns the weapon, does not the "gifter" still have some legal liability?? In Indiana?? Anyone? Beuhler?
..the Permit To Acquire. It’s an old Jim Crow law from around 1915 that requires you to go to your local Sheriff and get a $10 ‘Permit’ before you can purchase a concealable firearm. In addition to making sure the ‘wrong’ people don’t get pistols, it’s also a back door registration scheme.
I had (have) a Utah Non-Resident permit, along with my newly acquired Lifetime from IN!!
Good reasons all to stay in Indiana if you can!
We sometimes take it for granted. I don't ever plan to move back to my home state (which name I will not even take upon my lips) if I can help it.
IANAL. I cannot READ that let alone UNDERSTAND THAT!!!!
A simple,
