    Default Moving from state to state question.

    I purchased several firearms from a properly liscensed dealer in Arizona several years back and have since moved to Pennsylvania. What do I have to do, if anything, to adhere to the law. Also, what would I have to do, other than the obvious proper transfer of ownership, if I were to want to sell these firearms.

    Thank you, for any assitance you are able to provide.

    Absolutely nothing. If you're now here, and the guns are here with you, you're all set.

    In the future, long guns can be sold FTF without going through a dealer. Handguns require a dealer to run a background check before completing the transfer to the new owner.

    As stated above, you need do nothing, if they were bought legally you have the right to take them with you to a new residence, as long as they are legal in the new residence. You are even protected by federal law to transport them.

    If you later decide to sell them, get in touch with your local gun shop and they will let you know what you need to do. Long arms (shotgun and rifle) can be sold face to face. Handguns need to go through a licensed dealer or the county sheriff office, but I don't think that many sheriffs dept do this any more.
