I am considering buying a gun from someone either online or in person. How could I make sure the gun is not stolen prior to me paying for it and then how do I transfer ownership of the gun into my name?

Thanks

Get the serial and let a cop run it...Only way to get it in your name is go through a ffl with it.Gonna cost 25 bucks to get it in your name.

Ask seller for serial # and ask the local PD if they can run them to see if it's been reported as stolen.

If seller is out of state, gun must be transferred to you through a FFL. You would send seller (of your local FFL dealer would send it) a copy of FFL license and $$$. Seller would then ship to your FFL. When it arrives at your FFL, he would then run NICS check and transfer gun to you (assuming you pass the NICS check).

If FTF with resident of Alabama, you do not have to transfer the gun into your name (just make sure you get a bill of sale from the seller).

Get the serial# of the weapon and contact local LEO and tell them u want to make sure your not buying a stolen fire arm, or worse one that has been used in a crime. No procedure to transfer it

Per ATF page-

If it is a firearm that does not fall under the National Firearms Act (NFA) description, there is no federal registration. However, there may be state or local requirements and you should contact your state or local agencies.

If the firearm is an NFA firearm you must contact:



Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives

National Firearms Act Branch


99 New York Avenue NE, Mailstop 6E 403
Washington, DC20226USA
Voice (304) 616-4500

Please note:
1.An individual may only sell/transfer a firearm to an unlicensed resident of his or her state.
2.You cannot transfer/sell a weapon to someone if you believe or have reasonable cause to believe the person is prohibited from receiving or possessing firearm under Federal law.
3.If the above requirements are met, ATF recommends the buyer and seller both keep a bill of sale (a document who sold the firearm, a description of the firearm, and who bought the firearm) so that if the firearm is ever traced, the buyer/seller can provide the information.
