Hi, looking for INFORMED answer regarding private sale of a rifle practically new bought in Dec 2012, fired a few hundred rounds at most - want to sell it. Can I just post it in the paper & sell it? Forgive me if I'm asking a stupid question, I just don't know the law concerning this here in Oklahoma. Please help w/ an answer only if you know FOR SURE - I'm a nurse & I don't want to break any laws. I got into guns a couple of years ago. Can I just list it in the paper & sell it to an individual or what? I've been told by people at work that this would be a private sale & is legal in Oklahoma - is this true?

Thanks so much for any help with this.

Stephanie

Private sales are still legal in Oklahoma. You cannot knowingly sell to a felon, a mentally ill person, or anyone under 18. That's really all you have to worry about.

You could also take it to a gun show and walk around. If your price is right, someone will buy it there.

I don't understand this mentality and especially when you just purchased the rifle in Dec 2012.

Care to explain any further? Perhaps we can talk you out of the same type of attitude that those who wish to restrict our Second Amendment rights hope to instill. They have obviously had an effect on you.

So what, I can just say "hey you're not mentally ill or a felon" and if they say no it's all good? They hand over the $$$ & I can hand over the gun no paperwork involved? Thanks for responding.

I think you should seek out a dealer who is willing to conduct the transaction for you.
