Besides getting the buyers name and address are there other steps a person should take when selling to a private party. I'm talking bout selling a shotgun and 22 rifle.My worst fear would be selling to someone convicted of a felony and not able to purchase one legally. I ask this because I've never sold a gun privately before.
I've done private party sales before, but I will only sell to someone that has a license to concealed carry. I also do a bill of sale that gets filed in the safe.
If the buyer does not have a license to carry concealed, you could always go to a gun store and have the buyer pay for the transfer or take it out of the cost of the firearms you're selling. Most will do it for around $20-25 per transaction, some even less. You are allowed up to 4 firearms on one 4473.
State of Ohio only requires you to show your drivers license if your purchasing through a private person both must be Ohio residents. Tell you the truth it's dumb. Ohio gun show's you have dealer who have to go through a back round check to sell. And then you have your normal Joe Blow that buys and sell's with no back round checks to anyone that comes to there table.
Long as you get the basic information that ohio requires you can not be liable if the person turns out to be felon. I just about always take group of guns to a FFL auction. Then the auctioneer has the responsibility.
Remington 870 express magnum and a Remington .22 long rifle semi auto with I think a 3x9 scope. Think i'm also going to check around and maybe trade for a pistol.
I am not going to explain anything on here because I am sick and tired of seeing peoples misconceived "ideas" of what the law is. I run a 30 acre shooting facility, I'm an NRA instructor and training counselor, I'm and activist and leader in the Buckeye Firearms Association, FFL holder, PLUS... a certifiable gun nut.
No one in this thread...sorry, was on a mental rant that probably started days before I replied to this post bobk.
