Since state laws can vary, and since the consequences may be dire if you violate local gun law even only accidentally, I'd recommend that you check with Nevada folks. A google search directed me to:

Your friend should probably consult with a local attorney.

no attorney is needed
seller(gun owner) and buyer both go to a gun shop, a FFL , a federaly licensed firearms dealer,
buyer pays $25 for NICS ( National Instant Criminal Background Check System )
if buyer is cleared , finish up paperwork and the firearm is transfered
the end
this is legal anywhere in america
nics is always $25, any other fees (for dealers time) aren't for nics (don't overpay, call ahead)
there may be other legal ways to conduct firearms transfers... this is the most basic legal way

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_Nevada
gives a good summary and cites as a source NRA website

I wish you were right. But I don't think this would be legal in DC or NYC. Depending on the firearm, it might be illegal in CT, NJ, CA, and other places.

Funny
Ring ring, Hello mr.FFL , can I transfer this type gun at your establishment?
Yes you can, I'll need ID ID and cash

Ring ring, Hello mr.FFL , can I transfer this type gun at your establishment?
No you can't, you'll need a class 3 dealer, I'll refer you


Ring ring, Hello mr.FFL , can I transfer this type gun at your establishment?
Yes you can provided you obtain permit from BATFE, you'll need form .... and usually takes 3-6 months



Ring ring, Hello mr.FFL , can I transfer this type gun at your establishment?
In your state only LEOs are eligible ...


Call ahead
If you're thinking about consulting a regular attorney, don't, consult a "gun attorney" they'll know more

In some states, you don't need an FFL to transfer firearms. You don't even need to keep records. Why waste the money to pay an FFL?

What I'm worried about is if the person who inherited the guns doesn't know the laws about guns, he/she might just do something stupid, like: "Gee, I need to pick up my son from school before meeting the buyer, so let me just throw the guns in the trunk. That won't be a problem while I parked at the elementary school, right?" WRONG! That will land you in jail.

Thanks,

I asked on another forum as well and they also suggested nevadashooters.com.

Face to Face, at least for long guns, looks ok in the part of Nevada she is in. IANAL.

Since the gun is a rimfire and has a wholesale value of about $100, having to visit an attorney to deal with it seems as if it would be cheaper to keep it.

I don't think this warrants contacting an attorney. The law is readily available for review, and doesn't really require professional legal interpretation.

We have a tendency in this country to seek legal assistance for things we can deal with on our own far too often. There are lots of rules to follow, but I think it would be a better investment for us to spend the time finding out for ourselves, rather than pay a professional for their opinion. After all, the information is freely available for all to see.

Personally, I've never seen a problem with private sales of firearms. There's things you can do to cover your interests if need be. But really, it isn't the government's business, any more than it would be if I sold a person a knife, or a baseball bat, or a piece of rope. Then again, I don't live in a municipality where they make up silly rules like that anyways.

You should make yourself informed of the law. However, taking a gun law class will change your understanding. Learning about the cases will show you how the law is actually applied. You may even come across provisions in the law where no one, not even an attorney, knows what they actually mean, because they have never been applied in the court.

I think Chaos is just being careful. Even honest mistakes can result in dire consequences.
