Trading Guns?

Question: Hey, if my friend want to trade me long guns for long guns, is there a formal way of doing this? I heard that after 1 year for long guns your name disappears from the gun?!

Answer: All you need to do to trade guns legally is be reasonably certain that the person you're trading with is legally allowed to own a gun, and that the gun is legal to own. In other words, no trading guns with felons. And no trading machine guns and, in some jurisdictions, so-called "assault weapons." Your name will never "disappear" from the gun. It can be traced back to you IF you purchased it from a licensed firearms dealer. However, the beauty of trading guns with private individuals is that your name will never be associated with the guns you acquire like this, because there won't be any paperwork. Unless you do something stupid, like register them.
