Private party sales in Iowa
Did the signing of the new Carry Law in Iowa change private party sales? I was told today that ANY handgun sales in Iowa now require a Permit To Purchase or equivalant CCW. The person telling me this consulted the county sheriff today and was told this. Does state law supersede federal law????

I hadnt heard this, a person to person sale? I would ask just to be sure the buyer was OK but I dont think a FFL transfer is in order. Ask a gun shop FFL, he may know more about it. Call the Double Barrel in Missouri Valley, they do me right.

Or read the Iowa Statute:
http://www.legis.state.ia.us/IACODE/2001/724/15.html 724.15 Annual permit to acquire pistols or revolvers. 1. Any person who acquires ownership of any pistol or revolver shall first obtain an annual permit. An annual permit shall not be issued to any person unless: a. The person is twenty-one years of age or older. b. The person has never been convicted of a felony. c. The person is not addicted to the use of alcohol or a controlled substance. d. The person has no history of repeated acts of violence. e. The person has never been convicted of a crime defined in chapter 708, except "assault" as defined in section 708.1 and "harassment" as defined in section 708.7. f. The person has never been adjudged mentally incompetent. 2. Any person who acquires ownership of a pistol or revolver shall not be required to obtain an annual permit if: a. The person transferring the pistol or revolver and the person acquiring the pistol or revolver are licensed firearms dealers under federal law; b. The pistol or revolver acquired is an antique firearm, a collector's item, a device which is not designed or redesigned for use as a weapon, a device which is designed solely for use as a signaling, pyrotechnic, line-throwing, safety, or similar device, or a firearm which is unserviceable by reason of being unable to discharge a shot by means of an explosive and is incapable of being readily restored to a firing condition; or c. The person acquiring the pistol or revolver is authorized to do so on behalf of a law enforcement agency. d. The person has obtained a valid permit to carry weapons, as provided in section 724.11. e. The person transferring the pistol or revolver and the person acquiring the pistol or revolver are related to one another within the second degree of consanguinity or affinity unless the person transferring the pistol or revolver knows that the person acquiring the pistol or revolver would be ineligible to obtain a permit. 3. The annual permit to acquire pistols or revolvers shall authorize the permit holder to acquire one or more pistols or revolvers during the period that the permit remains valid. If the issuing officer determines that the applicant has become disqualified under the provisions of subsection 1, the issuing officer may immediately invalidate the permit. |

As I said, call a Iowa FFL just to be sure or go down to the sheriffs office for clarification. The laws are changing here so make sure of this before you make any mistake. I sold a gun 4 months ago to a guy face to face, of course he is a neighbor and carries concealed so Ididnt bother to ask to see it, if a stranger or someone I dont know well, I would ask to see it, if he didnt have it then off to a FFL. just to cover my own rear end. |

If you don't believe me, maybe you will believe the Iowa Department of Public Safety, but I doubt it..... http://www.dps.state.ia.us/asd/wpind...0Firearms%20in Quote:

As I said always check the law with someone that knows before making any kind of mistake. I have bought a handgun from a person at a gun show face to face, no permit asked, no form to fill out. I did offer to show tho and these guys are always at the gun show with a few guns. Maybe this too is going to change? Sorry LT, I dont follow a persons advise without knowing that person so I always suggest checking to be sure, CYA is huge for me. J A, good for asking, the sheriff, now you know for sure without a doubt. |
