Firearm Sale Legal Defense

Summary

In Pennsylvania, firearm sales require strict adherence to legal procedures. If you sold a gun through a licensed dealer and are facing conspiracy charges due to the firearm ending up with an ineligible person, your defense should focus on proving compliance with legal requirements and lack of knowledge about the subsequent transfer. Retain all sale documentation and consider consulting a local attorney for personalized legal advice.

Hi ****! That sounds like a serious situation. In Pennsylvania, firearm sales and transfers are strictly regulated. Since you went through a proper dealer for the background check, you have a strong defense.
- Keep all documentation from the sale.
- Prove you followed legal procedures.
- Show you had no knowledge of the subsequent transfer.
