Do you collect sales tax? Do you have an FFL? In my state, there are few gun shows, and I have yet to meet a handgun seller who did not have a business...Selling guns, we're talking about here...
IIRC, you're in Pennsylvania...NYS requires a separate permit to sell handguns, in addition to the small business license, and FFL...Probably other requirements as well, I'm only familiar with the ones that affect me directly...You must also be a NYS resident...Or have a handgun shipped to an FFL in your state...
I can sell a handgun to a valid NYS permit holder, but now I have to go through the NICS check, which means an FFL holder...And the transfer has to be reported to my local pistol permit office within 10 days, and I must have a purchase coupon from the buyer, which he gets from his pistol permit office, with all the information on it...IOW, it has to be registered before I can physically let him take delivery of it...
Here's some more requirements...From the SAFE FAQ...

Q: What types of private handgun, rifle or shotgun sales or transfers are subject to background check requirements?
A: Starting on March 15, 2013, all private handgun, rifle or shotgun sales or transfers (with the exception of those sales or transfers to and between certain family members) will require a background check of the buyer.
Q: As a private individual seller/transferor, how do I conduct a background check on a buyer or transferee?
A: The background check must be performed by a dealer. Federal law and guidelines govern the process that dealers must follow if they choose to conduct a background check for a private sale.
You, the seller/transferor, bring the weapon to any dealer that agrees to facilitate the sale or transfer. The dealer conducts an instant background check of the buyer/transferee—the same check run for all retail firearm sales. The dealer may not charge more than $10 for this service.
You may visit the dealer along with the buyer/transferee and complete the sale or transfer together, or you may leave your firearm with the dealer to complete the sale or transfer on your behalf.
Some more...I have two cap & ball revolvers mounted on the wall of my PC room here; perfectly legal, no permit required, K-Mart used to sell them...But if I have cap, ball, and powder for them, I am required to have them added to my pistol permit...With NICS check...
Welcome to New York! We hope you brought money!
