Private Gun Sales Are Legal in Tulsa
You can sell guns in Tulsa without a federal license. You only need the latter if you’re selling so many guns that it can be viewed as your business.
Once that happens, you’re required by law to become a Federal Firearms Licensee or FFL. Otherwise, you can stay a private gun seller.
Private Gun Sales Don’t Need Background Checks in Tulsa
Oklahoma law doesn’t ask private gun sellers to do buyer background checks in Tulsa. It only requires that for FFL dealers.
Private Gun Sales Don’t Need to Retain Sale Records in Tulsa
Private gun sellers aren’t required to make and retain records of their sales in Tulsa. You can if you want to, but no law obliges you to do it.
Private Sellers Don’t Need to Register Guns in Tulsa
Guns for sale don’t need to be registered in Tulsa. Oklahoma doesn’t require registration of guns, to start with.
Private Gun Sales Have No Waiting Period in Tulsa
Tulsa has no waiting period for private gun sales. The entire state of Oklahoma doesn’t.
Private Sellers Can Only Sell Guns to People at Least 18 in Tulsa
Tulsa’s minimum age for gun buyers is 18 if they’re buying from private sellers.
The federal law minimums (18 for long guns, 21 for handguns) only apply if the gun buyer is buying from an FFL.

- Illegal aliens

The 5 Ways to Sell Your Gun in Tulsa
1. Selling It to Cash for Arms

- Use the prepaid shipping labels to send the gun to our HQ.

2. Selling It to Private Buyers
What you should know: You can usually get higher sale prices from private buyers than from dealers. However, it can take a lot of time before you find an eligible buyer willing to pay top rates.
The steps:
- Post your gun for sale where possible buyers will see it. Try these:
- Tulsa ranges or gun clubs with posting boards
- Local papers
- OKShooters.com
- Wait for offers to come in until you have several that look serious enough to consider.
- Screen each buyer for eligibility. Use our notes about minimum ages and prohibitions earlier.
- Choose the buyer with the best offer and meet him in a public place (like a gun store) for the sale.
3. Selling It to a Local Gun Shop
What you should know: You can get paid right then and there, can talk to someone face-to-face, and know your gun will be in safe hands. However, you’re also likely to get less for your gun than with the previous two options.
The steps:
- Call the nearest of Tulsa’s many gun shops, from Tulsa Firearms to Sooner Guns. Ask them if they’ll consider buying your gun.
- Make a list of the ones that express interest.
- Take the unloaded and cleaned-up gun to those shops.
- Allow each gun shop’s clerks to inspect the gun so they can give you an offer for it.
- Take down each offer but accept none until you’ve gone through your list of shops.
- Compare the offers to find the shop with the best one.
- Sell your gun to that store.
4. Selling It to a Local Pawn Shop
What you should know: As with gun shops, pawn shops will usually pay you right then and there and in a face-to-face deal. However, pawn shops also won’t give you much for your gun. In many cases, they’ll actually give you the worst sale price for it.
The steps:
- Call pawn shops that buy guns, like Once A Pawn a Time and EZ Pawn. Ask them if they’d like to buy your gun.
- Make a list of the ones that say yes so you can take the unloaded and cleaned-up gun to them.
- Allow each pawnbroker to inspect the gun so they can give you an offer for it.
- Take down the offers but accept nothing until you’ve visited all shops on your list.
- Compare the offers to find the best one.
- Sell your gun to that pawnbroker.
5. Selling It to Someone at a Gun Show
What you should know: Gun shows aren’t regular options but you can sell your gun to both dealers and private parties at them. The perks for both are much the same as in their individual sections above. There’s just the bonus of them all being in the same area.
The steps:
- Bring your unloaded and cleaned-up gun in a secure container at the gun show.
- Try either of these to find buyers:
- Talk to the attendees and offer your gun for sale.
- Talk to the dealers with tables and offer your gun for sale.
- Collect offers and contact numbers. This way you can find each potential buyer again later.
- Go back to the buyer with the best offer to sell your gun to him.
