Will trade for Firearms

[SavannahLion]

Not kidding about this one.

This guy is selling a 100% working rebuilt Centipede Cocktail for $800 or for firearms.

Of course... "all laws will be followed." 

See for yourself on Craigslist

[ChadTower]

I don't see a problem with that.  You are the one showing up with guns to the trade.   

[TOK]

I think the "all laws will be followed" part implies a transfer of ownership by someone with a Federal Firearms License (FFL), not just a promise to abstain from an immediate crime spree. 

[Dartful Dodger]

That sounds like a great idea.

After the guy goes on a killing spree with a gun that was previously owned by you.  All you have to do is tell the DA that you just answered a classified on Craigslist.

[TOK]

Has to pass a criminal background check by FFL. If hes a felon, non-citizen, or mental case the transfer will be declined. If he goes nuts the next day, there isn't much you could do about it.

Pay cash if you'd blame yourself.

[Spaz Monkey]

Reminds me of the following joke:

"You get his wallet and I'll get the gun.  Now give me the wallet."

[bfauska]

I don't think there's actually many restrictions of background checks required for private transfer of firearms, that's why there is so much controversy surrounding gun shows.

Craigslist, however does prohibit the sale/trade of firearms.

Fixed that for you.

Thanks, that is probably more accurate.

You guys need to understand both state and Federal laws apply in transfer. This guy is in CA. Unless you are trading a gun over 50 years old (curio/relic status), the transfer needs to be done by an FFL.

Federal firearms law...

Sales Between Individuals

An individual who does not possess a federal firearms license may not sell a firearm to a resident of another state without first transferring the firearm to a dealer in the purchaser's state. Firearms received by bequest or intestate succession are exempt from those sections of the law which forbid the transfer, sale, delivery or transportation of firearms into a state other than the transferor's state of residence.

Dealers

Persons who engage in the business of buying or selling firearms must be licensed by the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives of the U.S. Department of Justice. A special class of "licensed collectors" provides for the purchase and sale of firearms designated by the BATFE as "curios and relics." Class III dealers may sell fully-automatic firearms manufactured prior to May 19, 1986, and other federally registered firearms and devices restricted under Title II of the Gun Control Act, to individuals who obtain approval from the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury after payment of a tax and clearance following a criminal background check.

Violations of restrictions on Title II firearms and devices are punishable by a penalty of up to $10,000 and 10 years imprisonment.

And pertinent to this seller, since he is in California.
From the California Firearms Laws FAQ:

# I want to sell a gun to another person, i.e., a private party transfer.  Am I required to conduct the transaction through a licensed California firearms dealer?

Yes.  Firearm sales must be conducted through a fully licensed California firearms dealer.  Failure to do so is a violation of California law. The buyer (and seller, in the event that the; buyer is denied), must meet the normal firearm purchase and delivery requirements.  "Antique firearms," as defined in Section 921(a)(16) of Title 18 of the United States Code, and curio or relic rifles/shotguns, defined in Section 178.11 of Title 27 of the Code of Federal Regulations that are over 50 years old, are exempt from this requirement.

Firearms dealers are required to process private party transfers upon request. Firearms dealers may charge a fee not to exceed $10 per firearm for conducting a private party transfer. Example:

   1. For a private party transfer involving one or more handguns, the total allowable fees, including the DROS, safety, and dealer transfer fees, are not to exceed $35.00 for the first handgun and $31.00 for each additional handgun involved in the same transaction.
   2. For private party transfers involving one or more long guns, or a private party transfer involving one handgun, the total allowable fees, including the DROS, safety, and dealer transfer fees, are not to exceed $35.00.  The dealer may charge an additional dealer-service fee of$10.00 per each additional firearm transferred.

(PC section 12072(d))

You need an FFL to do the transfer even WITHIN California genius. What you originally said was wrong, I corrected it, and you said the wrong thing again.

Even if I am lame at parties, I'm still getting invited, which is one step ahead of you.

[TOK]

You disliking me assures me that I'm normal and well adjusted. 

[Havok]

Meh - I say if you show up with the guns, then the cocktail is free... And I keep the guns...

 

[SavannahLion]

---fudgesicle--- it, I'm not going to get in on this one. Delete this if you desire 'cause I have nothing worthwhile to post.

See for yourself on Craigslist

What of it? Is there something unusual about trading stuff for stuff?

Go ahead and direct me to the post where you have already responded to my post.

I still stand correct.

"Correct" about what? "Confused" is more like it.

[ChadTower]

That was a weird exchange.  I think it ripped a hole in the jeans of this thread.

[bfauska]

Yep, there's definitely a hole, I can see ass.

[ChadTower]

Is that hole inside or outside of the pants?

[SavannahLion]

Is that hole inside or outside of the pants?

There seems to be a head stuck inside the one inside the pants. That would explain why he only sees ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.

Was the question too complicated for you, Thales?

It would be a bad trade for you.  Firearms have a much better resale value than 26-year-old videogames.

So, my wife and I were cleaning out a house after the owner died.

We found an old, 5 shot 32 rimfire pistol.  I don't even think ammo exists for it, and if it did, I'd be afraid to fire it.  I'd guess its from the 40s or 50s.

Am I allowed to take it to a gun dealer to get a value on it, or sell it to him, even if theres no paperwork?

Will I get shot if I get pulled over on the way there and its sitting in my trunk?

It says "H&R arms" "Young America Double Action" on it.  ANyone familiar?

I just found another Craigslist ad that wants to trade firearms for an arcade machine.  This one is for a Super Chase.  Who knew arcade collectors were such NRA fans?

Well, get some large diameter bullets and you can quickly get your button holes drilled in your CP.  Accuracy might not be great, but it sure would be fun.

That would be an awfully big gun to fire 1.125 caliber bullets.

Yes, but a fun one.

A punt gun in the 3 bore (gauge) range would be about right. You'd want to cast some custom full wadcutters for a nice, neat hole.

This one is a little too big:
