I want to sell my gun to another servicemember, and we both live on post. Do we have to go through a gun dealer?

A: Yes. In all likelihood, even if both servicemembers live on a base, private party sales and transfers will be governed by military regulation. Military regulation routinely outlines that any sale between members must follow the surrounding state law. In many if not most states, state laws (like Washington) require that the sale go through a licensed dealer.
