[QUOTE="sky428, post: 1715361, member: 24658"] Let’s say Joe waited a week before he put it out for sale.. The gray area is that he is still selling the gun for a profit and the someone could say he is then conducting a firearms business without a license. Then Joe could say he purchased the gun for himself and after firing it found out he did not like it and then wanted to sell it to get his money back. It would be a lot easier for him to show that if he was selling it for what he paid instead of asking for a profit though. It can be hard to prove intent. It could then be up to a jury if someone really wanted to push it. The longer he waits to sell it the lower the chance for trouble. The cases that I have seen have been when someone purchased the firearm and then immediately put it out for sale expecting a profit when they did not have a license. Law enforcement actually went in selling firearms at flea markets and then came back later to see if the same firearms had been put out for sale. It they found any out for sale then they made arrests. I am not an attorney and I know it can get gray real fast in this area. I usually error on the side of caution when it comes to firearms. I am confident that the original poster has nothing to worry about with his situation though. I am sorry if we are getting off point from the original post. [/QUOTE]
