This is kind of an after the fact question, meaning I already have the gun.
I bought it from a woman whos husband died.
It's a snubnosed black S&W .38 revolver and has never been fired.
I thought $250 was a fair price and so did she.
So I gave her the money and took possesion of the gun.
So now that I have it I want to do everything proper.
I am 30 have never been arrested so I'm good there, and like to keep it that way.
What all do I need to do, in order to make the purchase ok.
I'm afraid to call and ask the Police and then end up having it confiscated b/c I did something wrong.
Also if your a anti handgun activist, please don't give me your opinion. I respect those who don't want a gun, but I choose to.

In most states, as long as you are legally allowed to own a gun, You have already done everything required to OWN a gun. Private parties can sell guns they own without any special rules. If you want to carry the gun in public, just ask about a concealed carry permit. According the the Brady Campaign, Indiana does not require registration of guns and does not require safety training for handgun buyer.

From my own journey i could propose in no particular order: Glock type 17, 19, 26 Beretta ninety 2 CZ seventy 5 FN FNP9 All of those could be stumbled on used on your money. i attempt to stay a techniques flung from clean weapons if i could % to help it, different than they are priced so i can't have the potential to refuse. I be constructive the gun enthusiast will look after the weapons they have and are saved in reliable shape. I be constructive the concepts-blowing person who buys a gun shoots some packing packing boxes by potential of it on the alternative on an identical time because it particularly is new. After the novelty wears off then according to probability a field or 2 a 365 days between sitting in a night stand, closet or risk-unfastened for months on end until ultimately its time to commerce for a clean gun. those (incredibly) used weapons are plenty greater indoors of your potential than new and overall performance many times plenty much less that 1000 rounds by potential of them.

I would call and ask the police. They WON'T take your gun. If you're really afraid to call and ask the police, try calling a gun shop. They should tell you how to go about getting a proper permit.

You'll need to get a firearms ID card and a handgun permit if you don't already have one.
