Laws regarding private sell of guns

I won a CZ O/U at a Delta Waterfowl banquet a few years ago and I just never use it. If I sell it to somebody how do I legally transfer ownership?

I’m pretty positive that you take the money and then you hand over the gun and then you go your separate ways.
No further actions required.

In state of Louisiana to another La citizen?

2. You get his money
3. He gets your gun
4. Depart

My attorney buddy says to at least get a bill of sale with both signatures on it in case it winds up used in a crime. It's in the ATF database with you as owner b/c I'm sure it was FFL'ed to you at the banquet.

I get a handwritten receipt with the guys signature with the serial number of the gun on it so if he assassinates the president I have at least something that says I don’t own the gun anymore.
ETA. I don’t trust the process enough to not have my name on the serial numbers of my guns.

Lot of bs on this board.
1). If purchaser is a resident of La (assuming you are too), NOTHING is required. A bill of sale is a good idea. But not required.
2). If purchaser is from out of state and it is a handgun, HAS to go through an FFL in their state of residence. Otherwise a big no no.
3). If it is a long gun, refer to number one.
Anything else folks throw at you is noise and bs. For an O/U, sell it ( purchaser is in state or not). Take a picture of their DL w your phone, do a bill of sale and walk away. Or, you are perfectly ok just swapping spit in Cabela’s parking lot and driving away.

I'm glad there are others here that know more about this than me. But, it just seems like a good idea to get something in writing saying that (1) you no longer own it and (2) who you sold it to...I mean, you never know.

No matter what anyone says in this thread... ALWAYS have a paper trail for any guns sold privately.
Louisiana doesn't require ANYTHING when it comes to private gun sales but in order to CYA, download any of the 1000's of firearm bills of sale online, print out 2 copies and both you and the buyer should fill it out.
If a buyer doesn't agree to it, I wouldn't sell a firearm to them.

All the other BS aside, tell me about this gun you're looking to sell.

If you do a bill of sale, have proper word usage
