“Illegally”?
Here in Florida it is legal to go to a gun show. Take a firearm unloaded. Walk around the gun show showing off the firearm. And if some other person sees the firearm and a deal is agreed upon it is legal to make the sale. No licence or waiting period. Just hand over the money. Get a receipt if you care to an go on your way.
Same thing is you say place an add in the papers want adds and just sell a weapon as long as you are not a gun merchant.
I know the laws in Florida are much better than NYC. I just wondered why the guy in the article said people are getting their firearms in PA and FL.
It’s a violation of Federal law for an individual in any state to knowingly sell a gun directly to someone from out of state.
Also might be a good idea to place an ad in the paper to sell any recently bought (and therefore recorded) firearm.
You could put in a one-off phone number or something, or just tell the hundreds of folks that call that it’s already sold.
Keep the ad as “proof” that you sold the firearm.
