I can only speak for my state, NC, but if it is a long gun and the seller and buyer are from NC, no FFL is required. So if you win an auction in NC, then the private seller can send the long gun directly to you. Also, there is a website called ARMSLIST that is an online bulletin board; which allows you to list your weapon and the buyer calls the seller and makes a deal. Usually in ARMSLIST, you buy locally, so you conduct a private sale. From my understanding of the senate bill, just the fact that you post a listing offering to sell, then it has to go through an FFL. Additionally, we know that this is the first step on a slippery slope.
Yep, I am from NC too. There is no such thing as a ‘registered’ gun here. You don’t have to show where you bought it.
But..... the law reads... its illegal to buy a pistol under such and such circumstances. You must have a permit or a CCW to buy a pistol.
After the fact... the gun is yours. Its nobody’s business where you got it from (including the government) as long as it has not been reported stolen. Since private individuals are not FFL dealers, they do not keep records of permits for buyers. So the law says nothing about selling... only buying.
But everytime I buy from a individual I have the gun ran through the system to make sure its not stolen. Thats just a given.
