A private sale is me selling you a gun face to face. In that case, there is no requirement for paperwork.T3hK1w1 wrote:If I wish to buy a gun and have it shipping to an FFL, is it still a private sale, or does the FFL's involvement somehow make it commercial?
If it goes through an FFL, it never was a private sale. The reason it must be shipped through an FFL is so the paperwork will be completed and laws followed regarding the sale, including a NICS check, unless the buyer has a CHL.
