I can't find any straight answers online about Oklahoma private gun sales. One site says I have to "verify" the buyer IS NOT a felon.

Another says the only restriction is I have to verify the buyer is over 18.

A third site says in Oklahoma you can sell to ANYONE and it's THEIR responsibility to be a legal buyer.

Oh and then I read where the ATF says if you sell too many guns you have to get an FFL? I tried to find out how many is too many. ATF regs don't give an amount, just says if you sell "TOO MANY"

Oh and the ATF says if you make a profit you're a dealer? Well, sometimes you make a little, sometimes you lose a little and sometimes you break even. Does that mean you're a dealer?

Aside from guesses and opinions does anyone know any definitive answers?

My buddy wont sell even ONE gun because he is afraid the ATF will come banging on his door and twist it into an illegal sale. I've seen vids where they come calling wanting to look at your guns, I'm guessing they damn well have a list of every gun you bought with a background check and whatever is missing they will say you sold it and your now an unlicensed dealer!

In the course of a year I buy a couple, sell a couple, and trade a couple. Does that make me a dealer? Seems like everything is intentionally a grey area to confuse you. Ol Matt Hoover from CSR on YouTube is doing TEN YEARS for selling a flat piece of metal the size of a credit card with some lines printed on it. Supposedly if you cut out where the lines are you can make your Glock full auto? At trial the prosecution followed the cut out and it wouldn't work...he's still doing the dime though. My head is spinning.

I've seen a couple people on here say the ATF monitors this site. If that's the case we're all safe then cuz I don't think anyone ever ACTUALLY buys a gun here or sells one....

Oklahoma has no regulations on private firearms sales, so you just have to comply with the federal laws and regs. You can’t knowingly sell to a prohibited person, but an individual has no way of verifying a buyer’s status.

As for the FFL requirements, that’s currently uncertain. Congress made a minor change to the wording of the law regarding being in the business, which, as usual, left the door open for the ATF to screw us over, and they’re doing their damnedest. The Armed Attorneys on YouTube have put out a few videos on this subject over the last six months or so, so you might look to them for guidance.

I believe with long guns you can sell them to anyone
You can sell them to anyone, but if they’re not an Oklahoma resident, they have to go through an FFL, just like a handgun. The difference is that an Oklahoma FFL can transfer a long gun directly to an out of state buyer, whereas a handgun has to go through an FFL in the buyer’s state of residence. (The Oklahoma FFL being able to transfer a long gun to a non-Oklahoma resident is dependent on the laws in the buyer’s state of residence, though.)

Iv never seen so much fear from selling gun.
I guess because they purchased from an ffl or have a ccl they are law bidding. No such thing as a bad guy purchasing a gun legally then using it illegally😂
Down here where I’m at we have what ya call the dog trade! You NEVER know what you’ll get. Guns come in all flavors and prices. I purchased an sig 1911 for $100. Not stolen
Purchased a Taurus g3 for $150 turns out it was stolen. I didnt get a charge they just took and I was out $150. I purchased a couple 10/22s for $100 each There currently a mini 14 for $350. I haven’t got it yet but I will.
I guess we need to start getting this place…. Some of You knuckleheads vote so far left you type blue
I guess if your to scared to sell then when you do you claim it on your taxes?
