Use online databases or local law enforcement resources to ensure the gun hasn't been reported stolen.

Some states require all private transfers to go through a licensed dealer (FFL) to run a background check.

Ensure the specific firearm (e.g., certain "assault weapons" or magazine capacities) is legal to own in your jurisdiction. Verify the Seller and the Firearm

Meet in a well-lit, busy area. Many police stations have "safe exchange zones" monitored by cameras.

Do not brandish the firearm in public. Keep it in a case or rug until you are in a secure spot to inspect it. 💡 Pro-Tip

Treat a gun purchase like any other high-value internet transaction, but with extra caution.

Since you aren't buying from a store, you act as your own quality control and compliance officer.
