Legal Firearms typically refer to individuals or private sellers who own or transfer firearms legally, often involving private sales or online transactions. Firearm Dealers are licensed businesses authorized to sell firearms to the public, operating within industry regulations. While both roles require FFL licensing and adherence to federal laws, firearm dealers operate as businesses, whereas legal firearms ownership can be private or individual-based.
