My dad would like to sell some of his long guns but we are unsure how to do so legally.
I would appreciate any input you have regarding this issue.

No registration or anything like that in Michigan for long guns. As long as you do not devote time and interest to selling firearms as predominant form of "income", you do not need a license. You would be smart to ask for a copy of their driver's license so that you know that they are 18+ and a resident of Michigan. I would also consider having something typed up that the person signs attesting to the fact that they are not prohibited from purchasing a firearm under Federal Law or Michigan Law.
You can put an ad in the local paper or go to michiganopencarry and look for the firearms for sale section. Many other websites also have sales areas, MCGRO, Michigan Gun Owners, gunsamerica.com; gunbroker.com. Just limit sales to those in Michigan and then you don't have to go through a Federal Firearm Licensee. If you sell to an out of state person on gunsamerica.com or gunbroker.com, there are directions there as to how to do that as then the buyer must go through an FFL.
Good luck!
If I have forgotten or misstated anything, I am sure someone here will chime in...

Yep! So Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin require no FFL for long Gun sales.

That would not be appropriate content for OCDO and as such is strictly not permitted.

We share a land boundary, it's just underwater.Wouldnt Minnesota be included too? We do not have a land border with them but we do have a water border with that state on Lake superior....

Yep I forgot about MN... but yes it would be included as well.
Sorry, FEDERAL law says all purchases across state lines must go through an FFL. The Feds got rid of the "contiguous" bit long ago, you may purchase a long gun in most any state but it must be from an FFL if you are not a resident.There is no requirement that they be a Michigan resident. They only need to be a resident of a contiguous state, the same as a Michigan resident purchasing.

I did know that you could sell to a person in a contiguous state BUT I would only do that if I knew the laws of the other state too. Some states, not sure about those listed, even hold the seller liable if if the seller is out of state (thinking Illinois... which would not be applicable in this situation)
If a person wants, I believe they can sell to anyone in another state, too, as long as the firearm is shipped to an FFL in that person's state who would then handle it from there.
But, my thought is why not make it "easy" and just deal with a Michigan resident... but heh, that is just me:lol:
If Minnesota counts, so would Illinois.

From Cabela's Website:That was my thought... Maybe they were implying because Illinois is so anti it has a law against it...?
