Buying a gun that was purchased in Nevada

You can't transfer a pistol across state lines unless you go through an FFL. Meaning, you know a guy through a website that lives in Nevada, and he wants to mail you the gun. That would have to go through an FFL. However, if both parties are legal residents of Oregon, you just exchange money for gun, and you're good. It doesn't matter where the gun was originally purchased. Some people like to have some sort of a bill of sale to prove when the transaction occured, but that's not required. I don't believe that Oregon has any state specific rules regarding person to person sales. Any Oregon residents want to correct me?

That's the way I understand it.

first, you give him money.
second, you take the gun.

Safest way for BOTH you and the seller is to get his local FFL dealer info (name, mailing addy, phone number) and tell him to take the pistol to him. Give him your FFL dealer's info also. Tell him you will give YOUR FFL dealer a certified cashier's check or postal money order to send to his FFL dealer. This protects both of you and it completely legal.

Might seem safe to you, but it's completely unnecessary. I'm not going to ask my neighbor to go to one FFL, me go to a different FFL and have the two FFLs mail each other stuff. Just silly.

At the very most they could both go to one and do the transaction there. But even that isn't necessary...

If you're really concerned about it, complete a bill of sale. Date, time, butt covered.
