Buying used shotgun questions

[bird333]

1. Can I buy one from out of state?  If so, what are the steps?

2. What are some good online sites to use?  I know about Gunbroker already.

You can buy one from an out of state dealer in person at his business premises. You can buy one from a dealer or private individual by going through an FFL dealer in Tennessee. Your dealer sends his dealer an FFL copy. His dealer sends the gun to your dealer who does the background check. A private individual can send one to your dealer without a copy of his FFL just by checking ATF's EZCheck system and verifying that he is a licensed dealer. You can not buy one directly from an out of state individual without going through a dealer. Some dealers will not accept shipments from individuals, so check with yours before buying.

1. Yes, go through FFL in the state where you're buying it or get it shipped to an FFL here.

 

2. All are buyer beware.... armslist, gunsamerica, lots of forums like this.
