How do you change title ownership of a gun in Kentucky?

Answer 1

Like most states, Kentucky does NOT have a registration process for ordinary firearms (rifles, shotguns, handguns). You may transfer ownership of a firearm ONLY to a person who is also a resident of Kentucky. You may not transfer a firearm to a person you have reason to believe is not allowed to own a gun- such as a minor, a convicted felon, person under a restraining order, etc. A simple way is to write up a bill of sale- Describe the firearm- make, model, serial number, who is selling it (name and address) and who is buying it (name and address). Make 2 copies, seller keeps one, buyer keeps one.

Answer 2

If you are purchasing a gun from an individual, there is nothing required as far as paperwork. Some people will write up a bill of sale, or process the sale through a local dealer as a transfer, but that isn't required. If you purchase a gun at a dealer, you must fill out a form and pass a background check.

Answer 3

If it's a person to person sale, no paperwork in required in Tennessee, however, many people suggest that you make a bill of sale so you have evidence that you sold it. As long as both people are Tennessee residents, you simply exhange the gun with the other person for the money. If it is a gun being bought at a gun shop, the gun shop will process the necessary paperwork (paperwork is required for a sale by a licensed dealer).

Answer 4

To change the ownership of a gun you need to take the gun to someone that has a Federal Firearms License. They will usually do the transfer for around $25. Anywhere that sells guns can do this for you like a guns shop or a pawn broker that sells guns.

Answer 5

Like MOST states, Alabama does not have firearms registration. You may sell a firearm face-to-face directly to another resident of Alabama so long as they are an adult, and you do not have cause to believe they are forbidden by law to own a firearm.

You may NOT sell a firearm to someone that is NOT a resident of Alabama unless they are a licensed firearms dealer.

If you like, you can make out 2 copies of a bill of sale, list the firearm description and SN, name and address of seller and buyer, both sign, each keep a copy- but it is not required by law.

Answer 6

You don't. Only firearms requiring registration in Tennessee are NFA Title II firearms (short barreled shotguns and rifles, full auto weapons, destructive devices, AOWs, etc), and the registration for those is completed at the dealer.

Answer 7

Like MOST US states, a resident of Tennessee may legally sell a firearm to another resident of Tennessee so long as the buyer is an adult, and the seller does not have cause to believe the buyer is prohibited from owning a gun. They may NOT sell a gun to a resident of another state unless that person holds a Federal Firearms License as a Dealer or Collector.
