Private handgun sales/trades in GA

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."
"Google?" :pound:

And this ladies and gentlemen, is why we can't have nice things. I do NOT welcome our new (idiot) robot overlords. :tsk:
