Sorry if this is mentioned elsewhere, but whats the process on buying a long gun through private sale?

The buyer needs to have matching DL/FID. The seller and buyer then fill out the Certificate of Eligibility (COE): http://www.state.nj.us/njsp/info/pdf/fi ... sp-634.pdf

For private sales, the seller and buyer both retain a copy of the COE.

thanks..id be lost without u guys

Quick Reference

What would happen if there was no paperwork done? I know in NJ you would be put to death or in jail for life. Just curious.

I think more of the consequences would fall on the "seller". When I got my C&R license, the ATF agent interviewing me told me this. Probably qualify for numerous charges.

If there was no paperwork done, then the seller would still be the owner of the gun according to the state police, and if the gun was used to in a crime, it would be traced back to the seller, and the seller would have a lot of explaining to do....Not a good thing...
