Hi,
I understand the need and wisdom of c.y.a., but Indiana State law is pretty clear as is the counsel of reputable gun shops like Gander Mtn. and Midwest Gun Exchange. Some shops will gladly take your money for a $40 or $50 transfer fee that's not neccessary, but the guys at Gander and MGE said the same thing when I asked about private sale of a handgun within Indiana, they said a NICS and transfer is needed when an individual buys a gun from a retail gun store, but for a person-to-person sale within the State of Indiana only a Bill of Sale is needed. The Bill of Sale is the seller's proof that possession of the firearm was transferred to the new buyer.
"Private firearms transfers (i.e., transfers by non-firearms dealers) are not subject to a background check requirement in Indiana. Indiana Code Annotated ยง 35-47-2-8 specifically notes that the handgun sales regulations under Chapter 35-47-2 (i.e., the prohibited purchaser provisions) apply equally to an occasional sale, trade, or transfer between individual persons and to retail transactions between dealers and individual persons.
Pursuant to section 35-47-2-7(a), a person may not sell, give, or in any other manner transfer the ownership or possession of a handgun or assault weapon to any person under age 18, except an individual acting within a parent-minor child or guardian-minor protected person relationship, or any other individual who is also acting in compliance with section 35-47-10 (provisions relating to children and firearms).
