[MBZ] OT - Shotguns/Pistols

2014-10-29 Thread Dan Penoff via Mercedes
With the recent discussion raising my interest in possibly procuring said guns, 
I was curious as to how purchases work at gun shows.  I would expect that 
buying a shotgun isn't an issue since the purchase requirements are limited. 
That being said, with what little I know about handgun purchases I was of the 
impression there is a waiting period involved.

How would that work in an environment like a gun show?

Last one I went to you go and plunk down your money and walk out with 
your purchase.  I *think* they run a background check somehow but I 
don't recall.


This aspect has the anti crowd all twisted up.

Interesting.

On the rental front at our local range, they say they have Beretta 3901s for 
their rental guns.

Opinions? I'm looking for semi auto guns that might mimic a Remington 1100, for 
example..

Thanks,

I was curious as to how purchases work at gun shows.


Depends upon who's selling.  If seller has a FFL he has
to obey all the checks, waiting periods, etc.  If a
private citizen, nothing.  That's the infamous loophole:
private sales.  Most of what you would see at a show is
not privately held; none of what you would see at a
store is.  Private 'sales' covers a lot of ground in
attempted legislation, things like family purchases,
inheritance, gifts, loans, emergency situations, etc.
The devil's usually in the details.

That discussion will lead instantly to politics, so I would avoid it.

At this date, private citizens may buy or sell freely, privately owned
items. Prudence however would indicate you protect yourself by asking for
some form of ID from the buyer, and a written bill of sale, which documents
the sale showing you no longer possess the weapon and it's legal transfer
of ownership on said date. Should the weapon be used for less than legal
purpose in future you can show proof it was not in your possession at that
time.

This also protect the buyer, in that any claim the weapon was stolen can be
put to rest with a legally executed document of sale. [at least prove YOU
didn't steal it].

The term gun show loop hole is a handy 5 sec sound bite phrase used to
inflame both sides of the issue. IMHO, the moral equal to yelling fire !
in a crowded theater when there is no fire.

If it's legally owned, it can be legally sold. If you buy and sell as a
commercial enterprise, you need a FFL and all the paperwork that comes with
it under current law, which is all that really counts, all emotions aside.

A wise man knows the laws before the prosecutor files the charge against
him for inadvertently breaking one.

I certainly don't want to wander into the political side of this discussion for 
obvious reasons, I'm just curious as to the mechanics of such things never 
having experienced them.

If I understand you correctly, sales like those that take place online, such as 
you would see at gunbroker.com, are considered private sales? I realize they 
require someone with an FFL to receive the gun, but there is nothing in the way 
of a background check or anything like that taking place with these

I'm pretty sure that in FL you just have to pass the NICS check if buying from a 
dealer (and fill out all necessary paperwork) or hand over the cash if buying 
from an individual.


As far as gunbroker is concerned, virtually everybody selling there is a dealer.
If you could find a local private seller you could meet him face to face and do 
a paperless transaction. If he ships it to a FFL, the FFL has to log it into his 
bound book, and fill out the paperwork and run the NICS check to transfer it 
from his inventory to you, even though the FFL never owned it.

Dan,

I am not the end all of knowledge, so I defer to any and all greater and
better informed to answer your question.

My understanding  for on line sales which involve interstate movement of
the gun sold, or any non-personal contact requires the gun to be sent to
a FFL licensed dealer, and the actual transfer then happens under the FFL
dealers license, which DOES require a background check and all the BATFE
required Federal Forms to be filled out and signed, etc etc etc..

Legally, under present law, I can not ship you a gun. I can however ship
one to myself, subject to all the state and federal laws that may apply
both in the state I am legally in when I ship, and the state I am legally
in when I receive my own weapon. Complicated? yes.

I suggest you become acquainted with a writer by name of Alan Korwin
[friend of mine] [ http://www.gunlaws.com/ ] who specializes in writing
books that address gun laws as they apply in different states and federal
laws.

If ignorance is bliss, prisons must be a blissful place. Be wise, be
knowledgeable, be legal, be responsible, be a gun owner.. in that order..
is how I was taught.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Shotguns/Pistols

2014-10-29 Thread Addison Thompson via Mercedes
It depends on state law in the state the sale occurs. And if it involves 
interstate transactions, federal law applies. In California, ALL sales, 
including private party sales, have to be processed through an FFL licensed 
dealer and have a 10 day waiting period during which the receiving FFL dealer 
has to process the paperwork and background check. This applies to long guns as 
well as handguns. I could go into more detail but it's best to just say check 
with a local dealer to determine state law where you want to buy a gun before 
going into the deal.

Short answer:  Sales at gun shows work exactly the same as they work
anywhere else.  There is no such thing as a gun show loophole.

  I was curious as to how purchases work at gun shows.
 
 Depends upon who's selling.  If seller has a FFL he has to obey all the
checks,
 waiting periods, etc.  If a private citizen, nothing.  That's the infamous
 loophole:
 private sales.  Most of what you would see at a show is not privately
held;
 none of what you would see at a store is.  Private 'sales' covers a lot of
 ground in attempted legislation, things like family purchases,
inheritance,
 gifts, loans, emergency situations, etc.
 The devil's usually in the details.

I've heard anecdotal tales about guns being bought and sold in the parking lot 
at gun shows, but they were just that - hearsay. I don't know anyone who has 
ever done it.  Probably because the law has people wandering around offering to 
do just that to keep people safe/legal.

A favorite ATF stunt was to watch you buy a gun, and then walk up to you and 
offer you more than you paid for it so they could arrest you for 'dealing in 
firearms for profit without a license'. I hope they've cut that out by now, but 
there's plenty of other BS that I know they still engage in so who knows?
