How to Sell a Gun in Oklahoma?
During a transaction of a firearm sale in the state of Oklahoma buyers and sellers should be aware of state and federal firearm regulations. Knowing laws and restrictions surrounding the sale of 
firearms is vital to ensure buyers and sellers are in compliance with state and federal law and do not make any mistakes during the transfer.
In this blog, we break down the basic of buying and selling a gun in Oklahoma.
The following information is compiled from a memorandum of Oklahoma Annotated Statutes from the Oklahoma Office of Attorney General to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
What is the Process of Buying and Selling a Firearm in Oklahoma?
Anyone purchasing a firearm from a licensed firearms dealer must complete a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms form 4473. A firearms purchaser must, under the permanent provisions of the Federal Brady Law, also undergo a National Instant Criminal Background Check System check, which will be performed by the licensed firearms dealer.
The check will indicate to the dealer whether the purchaser’s background allows for the person to complete the purchase of the firearm.
How to Conduct a Private Sale of a Gun in Oklahoma?
There are no specific state laws addressing private sales of a firearm between private parties. However, there are penalties for buyers and sellers if the firearm was sold to an ineligible person, selling a defaced firearm or selling a restricted firearm (explosive weapon, machine gun) which can result in different criminal charges including and up to a felony criminal charge.
Oklahoma State Firearm Ownership Restrictions
Generally, Oklahoma defaults to federal law regarding the sale and purchase of firearms.
