The documents say Jacobs said he needed money and asked his son, a friend of LaDue’s, to put out “feelers” to see if anyone wanted to buy the pistol. The son said Jacobs required a note from LaDue’s father saying it was OK. LaDue’s father told police he didn’t know his son was buying the pistol until he came home with it, however. Jacobs sold the gun and one magazine to LaDue for $350 and failed to report the sale to the local police as required by law, charges allege.
What law requires anyone to notify local police related to the sale of a handgun?? I'm going to guess that the actual law broken was that the handgun could not legally be transferred to a person under 21 yo. Which is valid for purchases from dealers but I have no idea if it applies to private F2F sales. But why would they change that around to mention 'report the sale'?
