I am not sure I understand your question. Are you asking if you can do a face to face without a FFL involved or are you asking about whether or not you can purchase over the phone and have it mailed to you provided you are both located in Georgia?

Absolutly, I have sold a few guns to some of my friends.

Though like a used car you sell, it is a good idea to write up a Bill of sale. As a seller, you cannot sell to someone who you know is prohibited from purchasing a firearm. (if you know they would be denied a purchase in the store, you should not sell to them as it is probably illegal)

There is no paperwork to file with the Gov for a private purchase. In fact even if you wanted to "register" the gun, Georgia Law prohibits it.

That is usually what they claim is the "Gun Show Loophole".

The media likes to imply that if you buy a gun at a gun show that you do not have to have a background check. Which is wrong.

It just depends on the seller. If a Dealer with an FFL is at a gun show, any gun he sells has to have a background check. However if I purchased a booth to sell a few guns out of my arsenal, then anyone who bought a gun from me does not have to have a background check as it is considered a private sale.

Typically "closing the gunshow loophole" legislation is aimed at stopping private gun sales all together.
