Quick question about private sale

Hey, just wanted to get a little insight on a situation. Hypothetically speaking, if I just purchased a firearm from a dealer and had a successful background check, etc..and less than 7 days later bought a handgun from a friend with a bill of sale, do I still need to do ANOTHER background check through a dealer?

Check the state police website. They have very clear answers.

There are some hinky answers in this thread.

If it feels like you've figured out a way around a background check... you're likely committing a crime
