Help Trying to buy a shotgun tmmrw

[august4you]

I got a warning on the website that they can refuse the sale for whatever reason. What should I know beforehand so I don't sus out the seller. It's academy and I'm buying a 12 gauge shotgun. Also I have ID and I assume I fill out the paperwork there. Any and all advice is welcome

Nothing! I live in America that's all what you need.

Dude, don't try to buy online. Thats just weird.
Git up funn shows and private sellers. No paperwork that way

Did you end up buying it? Thinking of doing the same…

I've bought guns online, it's fine. You only need to be worried about the background check if you have a record that would restrict you. Shotguns are among the least restricted type of gun to buy in all states. You will need to have the gun sent to a FFL (usually just a local gun store) to pick it up, so call them first before sending it to them. They will charge a transfer fee. Buying ammo online is cheaper than stores and doesn't require any paperwork; ammo you get shipped directly to your house.

Idk, I've always just bought guns in person. Personally, I'd have no issues buying one of the Internet as far as background checks and whatnot goes, as I'm clean as a whistle.
It's more that I have a problem buying something like a gun sight unseen.
You wouldn't buy a used car or house off pics alone. Some things you've just got to see and inspect in person I guess.
Idk, maby I'm just weird

I hear you, personally I buy guns new so not an issue but if it was used or I didn't know how it handled, then yeah.
