    Hey all,

    Just wondering what the correct procedure is to sell a shotgun. My brother is working abroad for a while and has asked me to sell his Lanber shotgun.

    Where do you go to sell such an item. Im assuming you dont slap up an ad in your local corner shop window!!

    Im assuming that selling it to a dealer would be the ideal??

    Any help appreciated,
    Tx,
    Jab

    yes selling to a dealer would probably be the easiest option but you can sell them in the buy and sell or stick an ad in a shooting magazine. I think its ok to sell to anyone as long as they hold a current licence for another firearm.

    I'm pretty sure it's only okay to sell it to someone with a licence for that particular gun, exactly the same as if they were buying it from a shop.

    Also, if your brother has already gone overseas and left the gun in your possession, you should really have a licence for it too. If that's the case, it might be best to place it in storage with a gun dealer, as it's technically an offence to be in possession of a firearm for which you have no licence.

    To be absolutely correct about this, you really should contact your local Garda station and ask them to transport it to a gunshop , explain that you want to sell it for your brother , they will be happy to help.. legally.

    The local firearms officer will know the reputable gun dealers in your area.

    You really don't want to be stopped while carrying a firearm that you don't hold a licence for . .. potential for much grief..!
