What should you do if you sell a firearm in Indiana?

Notify the Indiana State Police within 30 days
No action required by law
Register the sale with the local sheriff
Obtain a bill of sale for your records

The correct answer is: Obtain a bill of sale for your records

In Indiana, a private person may sell a firearm to another private person without any government involvement or oversight. However, it is highly recommended that the seller keep a record of the sale for their own personal records. This can be done by obtaining a bill of sale which includes the details of the transaction and the contact information of the buyer. Option A is incorrect because while notifying the Indiana State Police is not required, it is always wise to have a paper trail. Option B is incorrect because while there is no law requiring action after a private sale, keeping a record of the transaction can protect the seller in case the firearm is used illegally in the future. Option C is incorrect because there is no requirement to register the sale with local law enforcement in Indiana. Therefore, Option D is the best answer as it covers the recommended course of action for a private person selling a firearm in Indiana.
