Someone who is 19 wants to buy my handgun can i sell it to them in ohio without breaking the law?
Answers:
Well, if you believe as I do that The U.S. Constitution and It's attached Bill of Rights trumps state, local and federal laws, then the answer is yes. However the State of Ohio and The United States Federal (central) Government does not agree. So that leaves the decision in your court. You be the man. You decide. By the way I am THE ALL AMERICAN!!
Why not think ethically for a moment? That should clear it up.
absolutely not !
Wait until they have those specials where if you turn it in you get a prize like maybe a Playstation or Xbox.
I believe they have 2 be 21, but I'd check with a gun shop 1st.
You have to be 21 to purchase a handgun. In some states there is a 3 day waiting period before you can actually get the gun. You need to be aware that if you purchased that gun, in your name, you could be held liable if your 19 year old friend went out and committed a crime, a drive by, or killed someone.
NO!! Don't sell it to him!! You can get in so much trouble if you do it wrong...call a gun shop and ask them the protocol. He is probably some gang member wanting to kill someone- don't do it...
I don't care the age, don't sell to anyone. Keeps your hands and mind free of guilt. I would use your own moral judgement on this one, and not what dough ray me, you can get by selling it to this 19 year old. Keep your mind free of guilt. Don't sell unless its someone you know very well that has no intentions of using it besides for target practice or because its a hobby of collecting them.

i would think that you both should have licenses. in some states you can't even talk to someone about guns if they do not have a license let alone sell one. you need to find out what your state requires. you do not want to get cute and think you can drive across state lines either. then you have federal probs.
No. He will need to be 21 to purchase the gun. As the owner if you sell him the weapon and he uses it to kill someone, even in self-defense, you will be criminally liable.
Yes you would break the Law, because the person has to be 21 years old and must have a CCW or at least a purchase permit to buy a handgun. Also if you do sell it to that person you would both have to go to the police station to get the gun register to a new owner.
If that person kill someone, and it's still register in your name you might go to prison. Check out you local firearm law!Requirements
