How to sell a handgun privately ?!

Featured Replies

I always see WTS ads, and then the description

Must have DL, P2P etc........

 

But when it comes down to it, what's the procedure for selling a handgun privately?

 

I know certain copies get sent to NJSP and other to local PD... Just please school me

 

I might be on the verge on selling my MP40c with apex and all of the goodies that go along with it.

You check that the buyer has a valid permit. You can also check that the FID and DL match. Then you fill out the top of the permit with the gun info and the bottom leftof the permit for private sales. You keep the blue, buyer gets the pink then the other 2 copies get sent to the appropriate place. Its listed on the permit

When you meet with the person you check their credentials against the permit info, then fill out the permit.  One copy goes to you, one to them, one to local pd of the buyer, one to NJSP. 

 

If you are interested in selling your 40c please pm with what you are looking to get for it.  I have the 9c and love it. 

beat to the punch.  BLF had a better answer anyway :)

Sounds easy.... The NJSP and local pd address is on the permit? Guess I never really looked at them really closely. Only thing I usually check is the expiration date!

I do it far more often, lol.

 

I'm trying to catch up, I'm trying....

 One copy goes to you, one to them, one to local pd of the buyer, one to NJSP. 

 

I had some confusion with this on my last(only private purchase of a pistol I've made).  NJSP is my local PD, so I wasn't sure what to do with the one copy that was supposed to go to the local PD.  I called the Firearms unit and they seemed confused by my question.  I mailed them both to Trenton after the local barracks told me they didn't want the one copy.  Never heard anything back from anyone, so I guess that was OK. 

As the buyer is there any way to tell if the gun is GTG and not stolen or any thing like that?

 

I watch alot of Cops (the TV show) and every time the find a gun they "run it", how do they do that and whats it all about?

I guess you can ask for the serial number and ask the PD to run it for you.

I would suspect the state police or local police run it when they get their copies of the permit. If it is stolen you will probably hear about it. the person who sold it will be in trouble as all their info is on the permit too.

They run the serial number(state police) against the local ,state and Fed info

The police will should not run a serial number to see if it is stolen, unless they have it in their possession. And would you take that gun to them to check after you already bought it? It may be your loss. Just buy it and save the paperwork.

Wonder if the f2f sales n Camden/Trenton/Newark use the same forms? Lol

LOL

Yes they do.... OHHHH! You mean the illegal gun sales. 

How does one sell a hand gun?  Answer:  Right across the Kitchen Table, with the P2P executed correctly per instructions on the form itself.

 

THAT WAS EASY!
