Can you buy guns for cash anywhere without the government knowing about it? Gunshows? Do stores record the ammo you purchase even for cash?

Isn’t that a concern?

Yes you can buy a firearm from another private citizen who is willing to sell to you. No stores generally have to log down what you buy as ammo unless you are trying to buy explosive ordnance.

Pay attention!

The laws regarding private sales of guns vary state-by-state, and may in some cases involve federal laws as well.

Be careful and talk to someone in the know!

The penalties for breaking whatever laws are on the books also vary state by state, but in some cases, can be EXTREMELY SEVERE!

Ten years in the slammer, that sort of thing.

Be very, very careful!

The stores here only check id for ammo. You buy in a store or from a dealer at a gun show they still have to do paper work. Purchase from a private citizen and he may give you a receipt but no paper work is filed, at least down here.

Guess it depends on your state’s laws. A lot of regular flea markets and yard sales in these parts have everyday-Joes selling firearms, no paperwork required at all.

Just what I’ve HEARD, mind you. I don’t participate in such things. Heck, I don’t even own a firearm. Lost them all at the bottom of a lake in a tragic boating accident. All my ammo too...it was a sad day.
