    Every firearm requires a standard 4473 form and background check when sold at a licensed dealer. Private sale laws do vary by state, idk KY.

        No, changed in about exactly 1968. They then became “instant” in 1993.

        Either it wasn’t a licensed dealer but rather a private seller who looked enough like one to you at the time (legal), or they are a registered FFL and sold it to you illegally (a them problem not a you problem, you’re good unless you’re a felon or something).

          Well, I never bought a long rifle from a store, only the pistol, which again I did get a background check on. I think I’m just talkin out of my ass lol misremembering something
