If you're buying it from a FFL (Federal Firearms License) dealer like Cabela's, a pawn shop or any store that sells guns, you must fill out ATF paperwork. The retailer provides this. Once you fill it out, they make a call to verify you are legally eligible to purchase a weapon. If you have a concealed weapons permit, they don't need to call it in.
If you buy a gun online, they will ship it to the FFL dealer of your choice. You will do the paperwork there. There is a transfer fee that varies from store to store. You want to check around before you order. It's usually around $25.00. I know some places that charge $15.00 and others who charge $35.00. That needs to be figured into your price range for a gun when ordering online.
If you buy a gun from an individual there is no paperwork. Some people will write up a sales receipt and the seller and buyer sign it. It doesn't matter much ether way. There are no laws concerning this. If you do buy from an individual, it's in your best interest to know exactly who you are dealing with. If the gun is stolen and you get caught with it, you are in possession of a stolen firearm. No hand written "receipt" will change that. You will get charged with possession of a stolen firearm. No way around that fact. Just use good judgement and you will not have any problems.
