Private handgun sales/trades in GA

[Dave]

Hi, I haven't participated in a private gun sale in several years and I understand that there have been changes to the law since my last transaction. As I understand it, private sales of long guns (rifles & shotguns) between Georgia residents are legal without a background check under Georgia law. However, the private sale of handguns must involve an FFL for a background check. Is this correct?

Also, what if the transaction in a trade (handgun(s) for handgun(s))? In this case, the buyer (trader) obviously already has a handgun so a background check is pointless. I'd love to hear some thoughts and get some clarification on this.

Thank you.

Nothing has changed. Whatever you were told is BS.

NO back ground check is necessary on hand guns or long guns. Just needs to be of legal age.

As long as the trade occurs in GA, between two GA residents and the purchaser (or both parties in a trade) can legally own a firearm of that type, no documentation of any kind is necessary.

Who told you all that?

Be careful who you deal with

Thanks everyone for the replies. I had asked AI (Google Gemini) this question, "Is it legal to sell guns privately in Georgia?". I got this response:

"In Georgia, private gun sales between individuals who are residents of Georgia are legal, and no background check is required under state law for these transactions, specifically for long guns (rifles and shotguns).

However, there are important legal considerations for private gun sales in Georgia:

Handgun Sales: While private sales of long guns do not require a background check in Georgia, the sale of handguns to individuals who are not licensed dealers must go through a federally licensed firearms dealer (FFL). The FFL is then required to conduct a background check on the buyer before completing the transfer.

...

In summary, private sales of long guns (rifles and shotguns) between Georgia residents are legal without a background check under Georgia law. However, the private sale of handguns must involve an FFL for a background check. It is the seller's responsibility to ensure they are not selling to someone legally prohibited from owning a firearm under both state and federal law."

Yea, that's incorrect.

Google AI is retarded.

Google AI is retarded.

No, it operates at it is intended. Lies and deceit.
