I've been giving some thought to pawning off my gun (Bersa Thunder 380). Obviously Uncle Sam wants me to be a compliant patriot and let him know when the gun changes hands, so I'm sure that there will be paperwork for me to fill out. What sort of forms do I need and where can I get them?

this thread reminded me that i need to get a gun

don't pawn your gun


trade it or sell it


you need to acquire a purchase permit from the buyer, copy of their DL, and if they have one a copy of their CCWP


PS: FUCK UNCLE SAM

ok say i have this friend that has a gun for 10 bucks for sale...how hard would it be for me to buy it?

12/11/2007 6:40:01 PM

pawn shops will not give shit $$, especially for a Bersa Thunder

What about selling it to a gun store? My first thought was to try to take it to PDHSC to see what I could get for it.

Perhaps the laws have changed, but I thought you didn't need a purchase permit if you had a CCWP.

any FFL dealer will have the appropriate paperwork on hand to handle any transaction

if you don't need the $ right now, put it on consignment up there and get more

Forgive my ignorance, but what's consignment?

12/11/2007 6:45:40 PM

they sell it for you, for a % of the sales price


but you will still get more than you would trading it in or selling outright

12/11/2007 6:46:17 PM

they sell it for you, then get a small fee of what you get.

12/11/2007 6:46:33 PM

Groovy, I'll try that out then.

12/11/2007 6:47:27 PM

12/11/2007 6:47:31 PM

You mean your statement?

Either way, I'm not surprised some po dunk livin in his parents basement redneck would make such a proclamation.

Go to your nearest gun shop and talk to the owner or worker there. He will give you the best and most simple advice.

12/11/2007 7:37:28 PM

hahaha
