If I sell a pistol privately to a friend of mine who has his CT CCW, do I just fill out a DPS-3-C and call it in for the transfer? I would like to have documentation of the sale. Is this possible without having a FFL do the transfer?

Fill out 4 copies of DPS-3-C
Pistols and Revolvers Federal Law states you may only buy a handgun in the state in which you reside. You can only buy a handgun in Connecticut, if in addition to being a resident, you have a valid Permit to carry Pistols or Revolvers, a valid Eligibility Certificate, if you are a licensed Firearms Dealer or if you are a Sworn Police Officer. A DPS-67-C and a DPS-3-C (4 copies) must be completed. The seller of the handgun must contact the Special Licensing and Firearms Unit at (860) 685-8400, or 1-(888) 335-8438 and obtain an authorization number for that sale. This number is to be added to both forms. The DPS-67-C is to be retained by the seller for 20 years. The seller should retain the original copy for their records, give one copy to the purchaser as a receipt, submit one copy to the local police authority where the purchaser resides and submit a final copy to the Commissioner of Public Safety. http://www.ct.gov/dps/cwp/view.asp?a=2158&q=294488 |
