Indiana has no gun registration whatsoever.

You want help when you going to most likely list it for much higher than what you bought it for? This should be good.

Not sure you can really list a gun higher than what Gander charges.

Go to a LGS (local gun shop) and pay to have them do the transfer. Both parties will need to be there. Transfer fee varies from shop to shop.

No i will be up front about it as i also can provide the reciept for proof of purchase. I relize i will lose some money on the deal as i jumped at the sale too fast and should of done some better research. Oh well you live and you learn

Note: This is in no way required by either Indiana or Federal law.

So if indiana has no reg. laws ....do i have to go to a gun shop and do the transfer?

No. FTF sales are perfectly legal in Indiana, provided the buyer is not a prohibited person. Read the INGO FAQ for more information.

Since it's never "under" your name in the first place, it doesn't matter. All that exists is a record of the sale to you that's kept in Gander Mtn's records. Even if you go to an FFL and have them record the sale from you to someone else, it will still exist in Gander Mtn's books.

OP wasn't asking if it was required.

edit: I see they have been educated on the subject now a few posts back.

Write up a bill of sale.

Make the sale in a responsible manner if you wish to represent the community well. If they seem like a meth addict, wait for the next person, pretty common sense stuff.

No, but the fact that he responded to your comment, asking if it was required, made it obvious that he was confused about whether it was required. Sometimes people want more information than just what was in their original question.

Ok thats what threw me off. I thought when i left gander the gun was in my name ....that makes sense

Sorry for the confusion guys....my fault. Was just trying to get a quick answer and was not clear enough with my ?

I agree. Good job on your part for educating them.

Ok, so here's a silly question....what's stopping the Feds from just going into say Gandermountain and making copies of all the paperwork that store has on gun sales, and creating their own data base?

Federal law.

Federal law? Like such a silly thing has ever stopped the "federal government" from doing what they wanted to do?

I see your point man. But look, the last gun I bought and sold changed hands 2x within the family tree and finally to someone who didn't look like a crack addict and showed a pink slip. So as far as tracking my last gun to me.... I say good luck!

And like others said, in Indiana there is no registration and technically no one knows for sure what you own.
