How can you change ownership of a handgun in TN?

Answer 1

Like MOST states, TN does not have registration of handguns. If you want to sell your handgun to, let's say, your neighbor, you can do that. You cannot sell a handgun to a minor, anyone NOT a resident of the same state as you (unless they hold a dealer or collector FFL), if they are drunk, or you know they cannot own a gun (neighbor just got out of prison, etc) You CAN draw up a bill of sale, listing gun by serial number, name of seller, name of buyer, make 2 copies- both sign, both keep a copy- or you CAN go to a dealer, and pay him a fee to receive the gun from you, and he transfers to the buyer- but neither is required.
