Yes you can.OK! Thanks Dino81. That's pretty much what I thought but wanted to make sure. Next question...Can I sell private party IN to IN residence without going through the FFL?

Thanks a lot guys! I'll probably take it to the 1500 and try to sell it there.
My understanding of the law was that recipient must be 18 for long guns and long gun ammo. 21 for handguns and handgun ammo. A parent or legal guardian can gift a handgun to someone 18+. Not sure about gifting long guns before 18.
Also, the seller must not have info that indicates that the recipient is not legally entitled to possess firearm or ammunition. Felony conviction, domestic battery etc etc.
So, basically, your procedure should be:
Check DL or ID to verify residency and age
Ask if they have felony convictions or are under indictment for felony charges.
Ask if they have any protection orders / restraining orders filed by significant other (past or present)
They could lie to you, but if you do your best, in good faith, to ascertain the truth, then you are in the clear.
Not looked at the laws recently, but that is how I remember it.
Thanks for the update C
Anyone know why the difference between dealer and private ?
You CAN do the above, but we are under NO obligation to ask any questions regarding felonies, p.o.'s, r.o.'s, etc..My understanding of the law was that recipient must be 18 for long guns and long gun ammo. 21 for handguns and handgun ammo.

Everything you need is right there^.Your question can be reduced to this formula, state line=FFL.
18 for handguns via private sale, 21 for handguns through an FFL.
Yes, its common practice to show indiana drivers license and LIcense to carry a handgun. Some people even fill out paperwork, bill of sales type thing to record serial numbers, drivers license #, etc but it not required. Just use good judgement. Also, if you have any reason to believe they are a drug addict or felon, don't sell!
Have a look around the forum, you will find almost all your answers! Good luck and welcome to ingo!
