Title: Firearm bill of sale between CCW holders
Post by: Mac19701 on April 06, 2018, 05:09:30 PM
I understand firearms may be transferred between DE buyer and seller without going thru FFL provided both buyer and seller have valid DE CCW permits.   I cannot find a standard bill of sale form on the web.  Can someone pls point me in the right direction? Thnx.

Buyer is the only one who needs the CCDW to transfer w/o BG check.

A general bill of sale is all that is needed. Must be signed and notarized in front of a notary.

There is no requirement under the law for a bill of sale. This would only be for protection of the seller. A photocopy of the buyers CCDW license would suffice with a description of the gun, signed and dated. The buyer need not do anything, but having this might be a defense in case the gun turned out to be stolen.

I have this:

FIREARM BILL OF SALE

Buyer certifies that they are not restricted or forbidden by law to own a firearm and buyer states that he/she:

• Has NEVER been convicted in any court of a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding 1 year.
• Is NOT a fugitive from justice.
• Is NOT an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance.
• Has NEVER been adjudicated as a mental defective or has been committed to a mental institution.
• Is NOT an alien illegally or unlawfully in the United states or an alien admitted to the United states under a nonimmigrant visa.
• Has NOT been discharged from the Armed Forces under dishonorable conditions.
• Having been a citizen of the United states, has NEVER renounced his or her citizenship.
• Is NOT subject to a court order that restrains the person from harassing, stalking, or threatening an intimate partner or child of such intimate partner.
• Has NOT been convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence
• CAN lawfully receive, possess, ship, or transport a firearm.
• Is NOT a person who is under indictment or information for a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding 1 year.

I truthfully state that I AM NOT a person who cannot legally buy, receive, and posses firearms and/or ammunition.

No need to have it notarized but would be useful in case of problems with the sale. And cheaper than going through an FFL.
MarkB: is that your own document and is it downloadable/printable? I was having a problem getting it all on one page in Office.

Use del elect's form.  It looks like mine and you can type in the info and then print it out.   Mine is also a pdf but I didn't know how to attach it to the reply.  Download the form to your computer as a pdf with Adobe Acrobat Reader and the fill blocks become usable.

Hey Mark, when you click on "reply" there's a prompt at the lower left that says "Additional Options". That opens up the area where you can attach files.
