You can still technically do a FTF the only change is one has to use an FFL to perform the sales authorization call/background check. The FFL will likely charge a fee to perform the call and complete the transfer process. They may want to take the gun into their books then transfer it out of their books. https://portal.ct.gov/DESPP/Division-of-State-Police/Special-Licensing-and-Firearms/Special-Licensing-and-Firearms Effective 9/11/2023, SLFU will no longer facilitate the private sale of a firearm between two individuals. The State statute for a firearm sale requires a query of the FBI-NICS system, which is not authorized by the FBI unless an FFL is involved. In order to satisfy the state law and the federal regulation, every private citizen sale to another private person must be facilitated through an FFL. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By PGAEMU: They have to take it on their books. Early on a FFL or three were wondering if had to do that or if they could just make the call without taking it onto their books. Guess it got ironed out so it has to be done.

Since they have to sign the firearm into their books, the FFL has all the responsibility and records keeping requirements on both a federal and state level. So don't be surprised if they charge you $40 to do the transaction for you...

His regular $25 fee for just a transfer is now $40 |

Where does it say they have to take it into their books? Last I went through was just going to the ffl and they have the seller and buyer fill out the regular forms and they call it in and get the authorization number. No filling out forms of giving it to the dealer and then the dealer transferring it, with the new owner filling out forms then, to the new owner.
Prices have been going up a lot on transfers. Good thing the firearm owners / community stick together .... sarcasm. |

If I were required as an FFL to be involved in a private transfer- the firearm would be required to go on my book and then go out on my book- cover your ass. NFA instate can no longer transfer from buyer to seller- in state. It must now go through a dealer. No dealer will facilitate a transfer that he is not part of so- now you will have to pay an additional transfer tax, dealer fees and taxes on. Welcome to a new level of making it harder |

All I know is like I mentioned before. No extra paperwork just the price was stupid high to transfer. Yep, I agree just another infringment on firearms in the guise of an illegal law with no more face to face transfers. Will deter people from selling privately and this is part of their plan to get rid of firearms plus making it easier to confiscate when the time comes.
Though I'm sure the gangs and the criminals will follow this law as well. It the law of course they must. |

Welcome to a new level of making it harder FFL's are now transferring NFA without the state form at all, just the 4473 after the Form 4 is approved. |
