selling a handgun ftf

[farmerdan]

Hi all If I sell a handgun ftf and get a bill of sales from the buyer ,and he is over 21 is that all I need to do? or do I need to do a transfer . I know the gun would still be registered to Me but is it legal to sell this way. Thanks ahead for replies I can always count on You guys...Dan

1. The buyer must only be 18
2. The bill of sale is not required, as per state law, but some feel this removes personal liability (it does not)
3. No transfer is required
4. The above applies ONLY if you believe the other party to be a permissible person and resident of IN

Indiana Law is for handgun you must be 21 ,18 is for long gun.
I would not sell a handgun to a person under 21

Wrong. Someone under the age of 21 can buy from a private Indiana resident. They cannot however buy from a FFL. I didn't write the dumb law, but that is how it stands. You only have to be 18 to get your LTCH. So what would be the point if you couldn't buy one to carry until 21?

If u purchased the gun here in indiana it isn't registered. From what I know indiana doesn't register guns.

Indiana resident 18 or older providing you don't know them to be a prohibited person.
