This might be a weird topic. I never owned a gun before. I recently sold my car and the buyer made me a good offer and wanted to give me $500 under asking price and a brand new Glock and ammo. I accepted, now I have a gun. What do I do now? Drive to the woods and shoot? I heard that you can fire guns outside of the city limits. I really have no idea what to do with this thing it also feels a bit strange to have a gun at home

Use the gun to get a new car.

Better for it to be in your hands than in a cop's, amirite.

 

[Stet]

Great, now your fingerprints are all over it.

 

[Szu]

Is it wabbit hunting season?

 

[thesoapster]

Is it legal in your state to sell a handgun privately without an FFL?

 

[CheDominik]

Wait a second, this is legal? You can just give someone a gun?

 

[acheron_xl]

Are you white? Tuck that shit into your belt, and go for a nice walk someplace very public. And make sure to name your gun.

 

[marrec]

Take a gun safety course.

For the love of all that is holy and good in this world please take a gun safety course.

 

[maxcriden]

Before you head to the woods, etc., I would recommend getting some training from a friend to use your gun properly. You could also check out a local shooting range. Also, I would consult your local laws to make sure you know where and when you can have and practice with your gun.

 

[WarrenMax007]

Do you have a licence? Are you sure this gun wasn't used in a murder?

 

[Stet]

Only if you give it to them handle first.

 

[Zombine]

It's pretty clear that now you have to become a career criminal.

 

[Kill Your Masters]

Rob a grocery store. Then go and become senator.

 

[flyinpiranha]

Go to a shooting course.

And get a gun safe.

Get a gun safe.

Gun safe.

Get a gun safe.

 

[HammerOfThor]

Wouldn't you need to license the gun first??

 

[Flo_Evans]

Go to a local shooting range and take a intro saftey and handling class.

 

[Luis_23]

Use the gun to get a new car.

This... is the best answer.

 

[kamorra]

What if he killed someone with that gun?

 

[ahoyhoy]

Are you white?

If not, this thread could be considered probable cause.

 

[Randam]

Great, now your fingerprints are all over it.

op, was the buyer wearing gloves, when he gave you the gun?

Is it legal in your state to sell a handgun privately without an FFL?

I live in Florida. No idea what a FFL is

 

[Cptkrush]

Go to the police and run the license number to make sure it isn't stolen and or related to any crime. If it all checks out, get your handgun training and go shoot some shit in the woods

 

[neorej]

You could always sell the gun. Or go to a shooting range to learn how to use it.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

For $500 less you took a gun from a stranger? Dude, turn that thing in ASAP.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Is that even legal?

 

[Currygan]

meanwhile, EU Gaffers are shaking their heads in disbelief

 

[marrec]

It's just a glock too, OP got hosed with a hot gun.

Seriously though take a safety course before you accidentally shoot someone.

God guns are fucking stupid.

 

[Butts-a-plenty]

It means you likely bought the gun illegally.

 

[Stet]

I think you just got robbed and implicated yourself in your own robbery.

 

[Dude Abides]

File off the serial number on your "new" gun.

 

[Omegasquash]

I hope OP checked state laws about gun ownership before accepting a weapon. Not to say that he might not be in the clear, but that doesn't sound like something that should be able to happen.

 

[RumblingRosco]

FBI incoming ASAP to your house OP. Good luck.

 

[daveo42]

Check your local laws on firearms. Go to a shooting or gun range. Take a gun safety class. Get a gun safe.

I live in Florida. No idea what a FFL is

Oh...that makes sense.

 

[marrec]

File off the serial number on your "new" gun.

OP:

"I couldn't find a serial number anywhere, crazy right?"

 

[Ghazi]

lol he didn't even see if it was legal.

OP GOIN' TO JAIL NOW

 

[Professor Lich]

I feel like this can only end well. Good luck and God speed.

Florida continues to deliver

Federal firearms liscence.

You don't need one for a private sale or trade in Florida.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_Florida

Wiki but you should read this. Every state has diffrent rules about transport and where you can shoot.

[thesuperfunk]

Subbing to this thread.

 

[thesoapster]

Yep, legal. Just lookin' out for you...

Which Glock is it? You could probably get a good price if you didn't feel like keeping it.

 

[HiResDes]

Couldn't the gun potentially have a body on it.
