federal face to face prohibitions

Post by slidelock15 »

A coworker is adamant that face to face transfers have been prohibited since the assault rifle ban. Was that true and subsequently expire or did he simply get that wrong?

Prospective purchasers of handguns in MI must have either a handgun purchase license or a concealed carry license, both of which require a background check, but person-to-person long gun sales are legal without a background check.

From a Federal perspective, he simply got it wrong. The AWB did not require background checks for person-to-person sales of firearms. Various states (fewer than half) have enacted laws requiring background checks for firearms purchases - sometimes just for handguns, sometimes for all firearms.
