does waiting period apply to private handgun sales

[Bill W]

I was struck with a thought while reading the latest handgun for sale post.   The transfer needs to be done by an FFL holder.  Does the waiting period and background check also apply when done by a FFL holder?

If the buyer does not have a concealed carry permit, yes.

[Bill W]

In theory the FFL only transfers the firearm as a transaction.  They aren't selling it.   That's what lead to me wondering what was required.   I'll have to ask next time I'm in the sporting goods store.

Does not matter, read section 3(b) in short it says they are to treat it just as if they were selling it and comply with all laws.

Sorry to jump in your thread, so essentially if I wanted to sell a handgun here I would have to meet the buyer at a dealer and then they would have to wait 10 days to receive the pistol pending a background check?

Thanks,

As said, unless the buyer has a concealed carry permit, it is no different than buying one from some place like Cabela's and not have a concealed permit.

That is how the law was written.

I've heard other people say it was 10 days on here, but not everything you read on forums is true   I am not sure that is why I'm following this thread.

If the buyer has a carry permit then the ffl can do the check like standard business. If they do not the paper work is submitted to law enforcement in the county/city they reside and they have 10 days to respond if they respond sooner and the result are proceed the gun can be transferred sooner. If not after 10 day the dealer may transfer. IN some cases the waiting period is 60 days is the person has not been a resident for the previous 90 days.
