Dean is correct. It is the same here in Ct. Any firearm transaction needs to get a authorization number from the State Police firearms unit. Then a form DPS-3 with all the info of buyer,seller and the firearm is sent to both the State PD and to the buyers local PD. This also now has to be done on private sales as well not just purchases at a FFL dealer.
