Trading Someone A Pistol. A few questions.

JFlaten
Ok, is it legal to trade someone a pistol for other goods? We would both sign receipts acknowledging the transaction. Is this enough?

Also, I would have to drive to meet this person. I dont have a carry permit for this gun, if it is unloaded in my trunk, is that legal? Or what more do I need to do?

This forum has been phenomenal and I really appreciate your help.

    Different States have different rules. Some Cities do not allow handguns so it depends.

    In this case it would be Minnesota.

    Check with your local ffl dealer.

    Not legal in MN.

    A transferee permit signed by his police chief is required for handguns & so-called assault weapons in your state.

    What you want to do is ask him to make arrangements with his local dealer to handle the transfer, & meet him there. You will transfer the pistol to the dealer, & the dealer will do whatever is necessary to transfer the pistol to him once approval is given. The documentation you will retain is a photocopy of the dealer's license, or a printout from ATF EZ-Check.

    It is legal to transport an unloaded firearm in the trunk of your car. This applies to most states (except the ones that don't trust their residents!)

    In tn, I can buy from any individual. I general don't sell though, so pistols coming my way are going into a black hole from which they will never arise.
