Default Re: Laws of private firearm sales

Currently, the transfer of handguns requires a background check and thus requires an FFL-holder to handle it. "Long Guns" (rifles and shotguns) do not require a background check and so can be completed "face-to-face" between buyer and seller. As a general rule, unless you well know the individual to whom you are selling any firearm, it's a good idea to go through the background check.
