I think you can buy a used weapon from another individual without the paperwork shuffle. The "gun show loophole" is supposed to end this practice. See, how they call it a "gun show loophole", when they're actually trying to prevent individuals purchasing used weapons from other individuals.

I'm looking for a .12 gauge shotgun this year. Used of course.

By it from a private party using cash. In Kentucky, no record of the transaction is required.

Go to gunshows or check the classifieds in local newspapers under sporting goods hunting /fishing supplies & have CASH.

If you are in a state that permits it, buy from a private individual. Some states require that all transactions go through a check. Know your laws.
