Buying SKS From Private Person

[Norm!]

So tomorrow I'm gonna meet a guy in a park about a Norinco SKS for a reasonable price. This is a non FFL private citizen transaction. Two bills of sale will be filled out and given to each participant. Not third party witnesses will be there.

Anything I need to know about the SKS or transaction?
Im also planning on just slugging it over my shoulder, since it has no rear sling mount, and walking home . Meeting place is not far from home just Im not sure if carrying a rifle like an 18th century infantryman is still legal.

Do yourself a favor and go buy some kind of case

^^^ What he said. Its legal, but who needs the attention.

[Norm!]

Putting it in a case makes it concealed carry pretty sure. I don't have an LTCF because I have no friends to list as character references.

It's a License to Carry a Firearm, the SKS is not a firearm.

Then what is it a weapon?
Been out of the loop for a while.

Just don't transport it loaded.

Nope. But legal walking. Waiting for the conceal verdict.

"Firearm." Any pistol or revolver with a barrel length less than 15 inches, any shotgun with a barrel length less than 18 inches or any rifle with a barrel length less than 16 inches, or any pistol, revolver, rifle or shotgun with an overall length of less than 26 inches. The barrel length of a firearm shall be determined by measuring from the muzzle of the barrel to the face of the closed action, bolt or cylinder, whichever is applicable.

Does the SKS you're buying fall into that definition?

You don't need an LCTF to carry a long gun in a case, or openly, because it's not considered a firearm under that statute.
