The laws concerning the purchase and sale of firearms can arise in a variety of situations including probate estate administration, flea market vendors, charitable gifts, private sales between friends and even purchases for gifts to minors. In some instances, the client may need only a quick response to a question such as “can I buy my 12 year old daughter a .22 rifle” and in others the client may be facing serious felony charges. The answers to some of these questions involve federal law, state law or a mixture of both.
