private gun sales
Is it legal to buy a gun from a friend in PA? I assume some kinda paperwork must be done to privately transfer a gun to another person.

Re: private gun sales
For a rifle you need nothing.
edit: as long as neither person is a "prohibited person" (legally unable to purchase a firearm ) and both are legal aged(18 or older) residents of Pennsylvania.
Handgun, you must go to a FFL to transfer.
You'll find this usefull

Re: private gun sales
I know this makes people angry, however you could request a permit. I am willing to show mine to the person i am buying from. Even if they dont ask I offer it.

Re: private gun sales
One, there is nothing in thr law that says that you have to do a bill of sale for a gun being sold. Many people do one because it gives THEM peace of mind. Two, you don't even have to ask the buyer for any ID if you don't want to. The way the law states it is that if you do not have any reasonable doubt that the person is prohibited, then you cannot be held liable. I know PA Patriot has the exact section handy. I'm in Kentucky right now so I don't have my copy of the UFA handy (I know, I need to put a copy on a USB drive so I have it everywhere I go ).
