[QUOTE="OldSVTGuy, post: 8604978, member: 40332"] I was with ATF for 28 years. Private transfers, FEDERALLY, are not regulated provided they are otherwise legal (the receiving party not a felon, drug user, etc.). And, you have to comply with your State/local requirments which you can probably obtain from the Indiana State Police. That being said, I, personally, would only transfer a firearm through an FFL - the cost is minimal. It covers you a lot of ways as the new prospective owner will be subject to a background check. If he balks at this, then I would stay way away from trading a gun to someone who does not want a background check run - can you guess why? And, as others pointed out, there is no Federal "registration" of Title 1 firearms. While everyone expresses concern about firearms ownership, the President cannot change the 2nd Amendment. And, the US Supreme Court has ruled that the right to keep and bear firarms is an individual, rather than a group (militia), right in the DC case. So, I am unsure why there is such a concern of firearms rights erosion. Regardless of your politics or opinions, we still have the 2nd Amendment. And, only Congress can propose a Constitutional amendment, which takes a LOT of work and must be ratified by, I think, 3/4 of the States, too. There are much more important things for our Government to address right now than attempting to change the firearms laws; which, as Forest Gump said, is like a box of chocolates - you never know what you'll get.
