The King Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 I am considering selling my new Taurus PT92SS in favor of a Kimber 1911.I have seen several sales of handguns on this forum and am curious as to the legality and procedures of selling a handgun to someone privately?Any help would be apreciated,Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 you cannot have any knowledge of them being a felon. or that they are going to use the gun for criminal purposes too IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerik Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 It's a good practice to get a signed bill of sale to keep for your records. That way, if they go and knock over a liquor store and your prints turn up on the barrel of the gun (or your name is on the last known transfer from the store) then you have something to show the cops.At least, that's what I've always done.

Pedro Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Thanks!Ditto on all of the above. I bought a few gun items from your friend Jon S. We did a notarized bill of sale and called it a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreator Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 You are going to love your Kimber too, I have a .45 Ultra Carry II, it's a great gun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod38um Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Have you ever had a 1911 b4? I hadnt until I bought my Kimber. I can tell that 1911's are going to become a passion. I'm not quite sure what it is, it may just be a combination of the beauty, craftsmanship, the fine engineering design, easy customization, great feel in the hand and the silky smooth trigger pull. Either way, there is no going back and I'm looking for a second 1911 now. Kimber is a great gun, you'll love it. What model are you thinking about?

walther_gsp Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Doesnt hurt to ask if they have a carry permit. It's kinda like a private background check for CYA purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Walther beat me to it! I was going to say, if you ask to see a CHL that will knock out all the requirements.When I bought my XD I didn't have one, guy asked if he could just see my Driver's License I didn't have an issue with that since they removed the SSN from it In terms of paperwork, didn't bother, it's the same thing as selling a chair to someone.Make sure to check out OhioCCWForums.org, there are always a ton of handguns for sale.

Likwid Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Tom brings up a good point' date=' but I've never asked anyone for a CHL. As long as they are on Ohio resident and I have no reason to believe they are going to use the gun for criminal intentions I view it as non of my business. Here's your gun, thanks for the cash, happy shooting. I also have no interest in doing any kind of paperwork or notarizing in a private sale. I don't like the fact that I have to fill out a form to buy a gun at a store so I'd just as likely not like doing it outside of a store.[/quote']you're absolutely right, it's not your job to verify their background, but it doesn't hurt. Saying something as simple as "You live in Ohio? 21? no felonies or anything? K here's your gun thanks for the cash"to Max: I don't think you have to register to see it, only to posthttp://ohioccwforums.org/viewforum.php?f=15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillinTime Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 How much are you looking to sell your Taurus for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Posted October 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 I want $415 for it, if I sell....It has about 100 rounds through it...max..... and it has 2 new Mecgar mags. Not sure I want to get rid of it, it is my most acurate hand gun and the ammo is a lot cheaper than the .45ACP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likwid Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 It seems you have to register to see the WTS/WTB section of OhioCCWForums.org... it's worth it to register if nothing more than that section. Tons of local guns for sale at reasonable prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
