Selling Gun Collections In Rhode Island Can Be Problematic, But There Is An Easier Way
Anyone who wants to sell a gun collection in Rhode Island has a choice: go through the irritation of trying to determine all the applicable state and federal gun laws you need to jump through or you can have CT Firearms Auction do the work for you.
How do you sell a gun collection in Rhode Island?
CT Firearms Auction has a Federal Firearms License to buy and sell guns, so we know how to follow Rhode Island laws. We have vast experience in buying gun collections from private collections and estates throughout the country. We are interested in talking to anyone selling gun collections in Rhode Island.
Be aware of strict State & federal laws
In most states, private citizens do not need a Federal Firearms License to make a private sale. But they must abide by state and federal regulations.
In Rhode Island applicants must receive a permit from either local licensing authorities or from the attorney general to purchase a handgun. A state permit isn’t required to own a long gun.
Rhode Island requires a seven-day waiting period for the sales of a pistol, revolver, rifle or shotgun.
A person buying a gun in Rhode Island must pass the Department of Environmental Management’s requisite pistol/revolver safety exam and receive a “blue card.” Active military personnel are not required to take the safety exam.
There is an easier way
Auctions often are the best place to sell inherited firearms. Gun collectors come to auctions, looking for rare, interesting and valuable firearms. Many firearms sold at auction are part of an inheritance or personal collection.
Firearm auctions enable sellers to get the best price for their guns. Instead of haggling with the retail dealer, auction houses appraise the value for a starting bid. From there, it is worth whatever a collector is willing to pay. Auction houses take a simple commission. Beware of hidden fees.
