snapper Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Re: gun register As an FFL holder and dealer...as of right now there is no state wide gun register in PA that I know of. There maybe a bill in the house/senate to try to make it a law...but nothing right now. You must register handguns....rifles/shotguns must pass a background check...but no registering.

[/ QUOTE ] Nope...not new, its been law in PA for some time...whoever told you that you don't is mis-leading you. All handguns must be registered...even if selling privately...must still (legally) contact an FFL holder and have the gun transfered to the new buyer. Rifles/shotguns...if its your personal gun...you can sell it without any paperwork/transfers/background check etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rhinodog Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Re: gun register Having a gun "registered" and transfered are two different things.

snapper Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Re: gun register Ok...if you buy a handgun new or used...it must be registered and transfered. You will have to fill out a 4473 form for a background check (NICS) and then you will also fill out a "application/record of sale" form. The 4473 stays at the gun shop...and a copy of the "record of sale" form goes to the state police, a copy stays at the gun shop with the 4473, and the purchaser gets a copy for his/her records. If your buying a rifle/shotgun...only the 4473 form is filled out for a background check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rhinodog Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Re: gun register Isn't it nice that the bad apples in Philly and Pittsburgh control what happens state-wide? The rural folks are at the mercy of the city folks. [ QUOTE ] Ok...if you buy a handgun new or used...it must be registered and transfered.
