Are you talking about the NICS check? That is required or they can't sell it to you. It isn't a registration, the FBI throws it away after 90 days(supposedly)

Here is PA, you must also fill out paperwork for the PA State Police. Refusing either that or NICS will nix your purchase. The State Police form is clearly illegal and is being contested by some members of the state legislature. About the only reisistance you can put up is to refuse to show your social security number. They have it anyway.

So maybe I am totally talking about the wrong thing here. I have only ever purchased 2 rifles (all the rest were my parents') I thought the NICS check was what was called in. I am talking about filling out the form. Is this part of NICS too? My last rifle I purchased the guy started talking about how he thought registration was important because sometimes they recall firearms. He did this as I filled out the form so I figured thats what the form was. I may be confused, I don't have a lot of experience here yet.

Or are you talking about the yellow BATF form 4473 that is a FEDERAL requirement that you fill out prior to the NICS check? The dealer you purchase from is required to keep these, and in the event he goes out of business, he has to forward them to the BATF. Yes, this is a [i]form[/i] of registration (it can be used to identify someone who has purchased one or more firearms) but with private party transactions (now under attack under cover of the "gunshow loophole") it doesn't really have more meaning than that.
Anyway, it isn't a STATE registration - it's Federal. [sniper] |

ATF 4473 is what I am talking about (I just found that sheet we were supposed to read in my old box) So basically I can't say no to filling out this form of registration becuase it is federal. I thought it was a state form originally. Well I guess its good that my state doesn't require registration (sarcasm)...

hg112 is exactly right. They won't get pissed but they can't sell you a weapon if you don't do the form. Dealers don't give you those forms to fill out because we have nothing better to do with our time; we do it because its the law.
...and if you're thinking of lying on the forms to get a gun, just remember its a felony and can get you a five year all expense paid vaccation at Bubba's Federal Butt Pirate Vaseline Festival. |

I would never lie on one of those forms. Thats just pushing it a little too far. I was just wondering because I heard that PA has been "illegally" registering weapons when they really aren't allowed to. I guess it doesn't matter though, I don't have anything to hide so I am not worried yet. I was just interested. Thanks for the help!

I know a few people that won't but a gun from a dealer because of the NICS check. I don't worry about it. As far as the gov't knows you bought the gun and sold it to someone else the next day. How are they going to confiscate a gun that you don't have? [;)]

3 words: private party sale. 3 more words: illegal in PA Actually I'm not 100% sure, but from what I understand all private party sales in PA must still go through a NICS check. |

On the NICS, they don't submit the serial number on the background check. As was stated, the form stays with the dealer. Now a mysterious fire could eliminate those in case of national consfication. It would probably happen a lot.
As for recalls, your warranty card that you send in is supposed to take care of that. But hey, that is registration also if you listen to some people. "Mr. agent, I went deep sea fishing and all my guns fell overboard. Oh, I had them with me in case a shark attacked." |

One thing in NY because we are so heavily regulated I don't have to do the nics check cause of my pistol license. Rifle,shotgun and handguns walk in walk out. Fill out yellow paper show license and go home. I get 1 perk from being very restricted.
Handguns you have to do some running around to police chief but can be done within 1 or 2 hours total. No 3day wait no 5 day wait no worry about computers down. Like I said I get 1 perk. |

Hey Phantom, In PA a long gun only requires the BATF 4473 form. The state requires you to fill out an additional form for a handgun. You get to keep a copy of this. I just had to deal with this last week when I got my 92FS. My FFL also required me to have the seller ship from an FFL. I didn't think this was needed but he said it was a state law. Some BS about guaranteeing the handgun's origin. Anyway, I would consider this a registration of handguns regardless of what the NRA site says. The form has the model, serial # and other pertinent info and there's a copy for you, the FFL, and the State.

It is true that there are no more private-party transfers allowed in PA. The State Police are the group that is keeping the illegal registration roles.
