The code of law within the state of Louisiana does not stipulate that residents have to register their firearms with the local government (although the state’s website does provide an Application to Register a Firearm). This is valuable information to have on file, so you may want to consider executing both documents to have them on record. Once completed, participants should sign the document in the presence of a reviewing official who can notarize the contract for verification purposes.Īlthough the state provides an Application to Transfer a Firearm, the form does not contain an area to include the sales price (unlike the bill of sale). Some of the requested information includes both parties’ basic contact info, gun characteristics, and a transaction report. Details specific to the particular exchange are transcribed to the document creating an isolated record of the event. The Louisiana firearm (gun) bill of sale form is a commonly used formality that chronicles the sale or trade of a firearm.
