Best Answer

You can sell your privately owned firearms without an FFL, but you cannot actually have a dealership or gun selling business without it. Different states may have different regulations, particularly on the transfer of handguns (states with a pistol permit system may require a pistol permit to be submitted even in a private sale, while some states strictly require all private sales of handguns to go through an FFL dealer).

Can you find a gun that used to be mine by serial numbers?

MAYBE if you worked for the ATF and it hasn't passed through to private hands with a wide speriod in between... I say N instead of a number, in my state it's 10 (Illinois) FFL->FFL, FFL->Private, also recorded/reported (phone call with details/approval). Private->Private recorded and mostly not reported back and they have a shelf life of N years and then often destroyed (its like gun owner religion) . There has been recent "if sold at gunshow laws" that require a seller to call if physically at the GUNSHOW. They will refuse to record the sale if you are not PHYSICALLY at the gunshow. You can do the math on that one. So if I gun is used in a crime. Manufacture to FFL, FFL-FFL/Person tracked, if that person sold the gun less the N years ago he SHOULD have a record of who he sold it to, if over N years, it could have been sold and recorded a many times but who knows who's doing it?
