The Maine bill of sale form embodies a written record of the exchange of an owned object for a stipulated dollar amount. This written testimonial includes the material facts on the buyer, seller, sale item, terms of sale, as well as endorsements to signify agreement. The paperwork can be used to illustrate the time of transfer to protect the seller against any liability should the item be later employed for unlawful use.

Firearm Registration Forms

There is no requirement to get hold of a permit before buying a firearm, and no need for a background check when purchasing in the form of a private sale. Permitless carry allows individuals to carry openly or concealed in acceptable areas. If you wish to utilize reciprocity to travel out-of-state, within the borders of participating states, make available the following to submit to the Maine State Police Special Investigations Unit:

• A completed and executed Maine Application for Permit to Carry Concealed Handguns (Form 1R-Rev 8-15)
