Private sales of handguns and rifles.

[Lavan]

Here in California (of course) a private sale of a gun MUST be transferred through a FFL holder.

Is this the case in Nevada also? How about other states? Is there any state where a gun can be legally sold to another person?

In North Carolina, you must have a sheriff-issued permit to buy a gun, at least in certain counties, regardless of who is buying and selling.

In Michigan you need a permit to purchase issued by either your locak PD or the local Sheriff's Department to purchase a handgun from anyone, private sale or from a gun dealer. Rifles and shotguns are free market, 4473 and NICS from dealers and nothing a private sale.

Joseph, this is correct only with regard to handguns. No permits are needed for private transfers of rifles or shotguns.

As far as I know it’s no problem in VA.

No restrictions on any private sales here in Wisconsin. We can thank some of our newly-elected representatives for RKBA legislation.

Ohio: No restrictions on private sales of handguns or long guns. A smart seller will still get pertinent info on a buyer, just to cover his own butt.

No restrictions on private sales in Texas.

Not alll firearm transfers in California have to go through a dealer. Rifles or shotguns on the C&R list and over 50 years old can be transferred without going through a dealer.
